Vitality score

Vitality score 50.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 93 % of the 17,052 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.

An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 69 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Humidity measured at RODALBE, 14.2 km away at 258 m, over 20 summers. ^[10]

An average of 821 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at KAPPELKINGER_MAN, 3.3 km away at 223 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 Insming'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.
