Vitality score

Vitality score 26/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 65 % of the 17,949 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.

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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 79 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
