Vitality score
Vitality score 14.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 2,957 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the VILLETTE weather station, 9.9 km away at 345 m; the village itself is at 196 m. [11]
The village sits 149 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at VILLETTE, 9.9 km away at 345 m, over 28 summers. [11]
That station sits 149 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 914 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at VILLETTE, 9.9 km away at 345 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Othe'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.
