Vitality score

Vitality score 26.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 48 % of the 17,629 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.

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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 69 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the MARINGUES weather station, 9.9 km away at 300 m; the village itself is at 335 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at MARINGUES, 9.9 km away at 300 m, over 12 summers. ^[10]

An average of 724 mm of rain a year, spread over 105 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[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 Chavaroux'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.
