Vitality score
Vitality score 6.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 13 % of the 6,186 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the HOUDELAINCOURT weather station, 11.3 km away at 390 m; the village itself is at 254 m. [11]
The village sits 136 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 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at HOUDELAINCOURT, 11.3 km away at 390 m, over 14 summers. [11]
That station sits 136 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 1,120 mm of rain a year, spread over 146 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BOVIOLLES, 3.1 km away at 272 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 Saint-Amand-sur-Ornain'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.
