Vitality score
Vitality score 40.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 35 % of the 8,495 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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LOISON-SOUS-L. weather station, 13.9 km away at 27 m; the village itself is at 123 m. [10]
The village sits 96 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. [10]
An average of 762 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LENS, 9.1 km away at 43 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
