Vitality score
Vitality score 20.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 40 % of the 18,050 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LOISON-SOUS-L. weather station, 18.6 km away at 27 m; the village itself is at 156 m. [12]
The village sits 129 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. [12]
An average of 841 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at AUBIGNY, 5 km away at 96 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
