Vitality score

Vitality score 15.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 74 % of the 7,704 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 8.9

Days at or below 0 °C 92.5

Muggy days a summer 0.7

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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 93 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the MAXEY SA weather station, 7.7 km away at 250 m; the village itself is at 377 m. ^[12]

The village sits 127 m above 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 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at HOUDELAINCOURT, 12.6 km away at 390 m, over 14 summers. ^[12]

An average of 931 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at MAXEY SA, 7.7 km away at 250 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 Vouthon-Haut'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.
