Vitality score
Vitality score 44.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 63 % of the 11,930 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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BAUD weather station, 9.7 km away at 51 m; the village itself is at 133 m. [11]
The village sits 82 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 1,209 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at QUISTINIC, 3.9 km away at 131 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
