Vitality score

Vitality score 41.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 14,902 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

Bakery (Saint-Agoulin): 4.3 km to the north (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Aigueperse): 4.3 km to the east (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Combronde): 4.8 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 25.5

Days at or below 0 °C 61.5

Muggy days a summer 1.4

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 26 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the RIOM weather station, 13.3 km away at 360 m; the village itself is at 393 m. ^[12]

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

Humidity measured at MARINGUES, 18 km away at 300 m, over 12 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 93 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 649 mm of rain a year, spread over 105 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at AUBIAT, 5 km away at 348 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Artonne'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.
