Vitality score

Vitality score 16.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 42 % of the 16,725 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.

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]

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

Humidity measured at MARINGUES, 8.9 km away at 300 m, over 12 summers. ^[10]

An average of 839 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at PASLIERES, 1.9 km away at 331 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[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 Noalhat'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.
