Vitality score

Vitality score 49.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 65 % of the 7,904 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Food shop, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Bakery — 1.4 km NE Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Homécourt): 1.4 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Auboué): 0.2 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

GP (Auboué): 0.2 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Auboué): 0.4 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the DONCOURT-LES-CONFLANS weather station, 7.4 km away at 235 m; the village itself is at 184 m. [10]

The village sits 51 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]

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

Humidity measured at DONCOURT-LES-CONFLANS, 7.4 km away at 235 m, over 20 summers. [10]

That station sits 51 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 737 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at DONCOURT-LES-CONFLANS, 7.4 km away at 235 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 Auboué'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.
