Vitality score

Vitality score 15.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 22 % of the 18,032 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

Days at or above 30 °C 14.1

Days at or below 0 °C 79

Muggy days a summer 0.1

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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 79 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the CUNLHAT weather station, 6.3 km away at 700 m; the village itself is at 717 m. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at COL DU BEAL, 12.6 km away at 1,393 m, over 11 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 676 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 999 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at CUNLHAT, 6.3 km away at 700 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]

…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 La Chapelle-Agnon'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.
