Vitality score

Vitality score 46/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 12 % of the 2,417 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

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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the ERROUVILLE_SAPC weather station, 5.9 km away at 373 m; the village itself is at 321 m. [9]

The village sits 52 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. [9]

An average of 975 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at ERROUVILLE_SAPC, 5.9 km away at 373 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
