Vitality score
Vitality score 18.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 38 % of the 17,905 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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BEHONNE_SAPC weather station, 5.5 km away at 301 m; the village itself is at 225 m. [10]
The village sits 76 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 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at VASSINCOURT, 7.2 km away at 187 m, over 19 summers. [10]
An average of 889 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BEHONNE_SAPC, 5.5 km away at 301 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 Chardogne'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.
