Vitality score
Vitality score 74.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 100 % of the 14,805 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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SONGEONS weather station, 0.3 km away at 113 m; the village itself is at 120 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at SAINT-ARNOULT, 9.6 km away at 206 m, over 24 summers. [10]
That station sits 86 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 828 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at SONGEONS, 0.3 km away at 113 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 Songeons'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.
