Vitality score
Vitality score 63/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 95 % of the 8,670 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.
