Vitality score

Vitality score 17.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 41 % of the 17,272 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.

Population 258 (1990) → 252 (2023): -2.3 % over 30 years. ^[6,1]

Which way the everyday services lie

Primary school — 3.8 km SBakery — 5.8 km WFood shop — 6.9 km SEGP — 8.0 km SWPharmacy — 8.0 km SW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Dun-les-Places): 5.8 km to the west (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 9.1

Days at or below 0 °C 59.3

Muggy days a summer 0.5

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 59 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the DUN_SAPC weather station, 5.6 km away at 598 m; the village itself is at 616 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at LORMES_SAPC, 17.5 km away at 485 m, over 15 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 131 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,306 mm of rain a year, spread over 150 days — about 8.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at DUN-LES-PLACES, 5.5 km away at 600 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 Saint-Brisson'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.
