Vitality score

Vitality score 9.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 4 % of the 18,024 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the CHOUILLY weather station, 2.6 km away at 172 m; the village itself is at 154 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at CHOUILLY, 2.6 km away at 172 m, over 20 summers. [10]

An average of 681 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Cuis's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
