Vitality score
Vitality score 13.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 15 % of the 18,041 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 82 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the VAUCOULEURS weather station, 3.5 km away at 294 m; the village itself is at 248 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at HOUDELAINCOURT, 15.7 km away at 390 m, over 14 summers. [9]
That station sits 142 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 943 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at VAUCOULEURS, 3.5 km away at 294 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Rigny-la-Salle'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.
