Vitality score

Vitality score 15.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 49 % of the 13,583 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

Days at or above 30 °C 16

Days at or below 0 °C 38.5

Muggy days a summer 1.8

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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the BEHONNE_SAPC weather station, 13.7 km away at 301 m; the village itself is at 189 m. ^[12]

The village sits 112 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at VASSINCOURT, 16.6 km away at 187 m, over 19 summers. ^[12]

An average of 1,120 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 7.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at BAZINCOURT, 3.9 km away at 300 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Bazincourt-sur-Saulx'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.
