Vitality score

Vitality score 24.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 97 % of the 7,836 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

In the commune Primary school Food shop — 6.7 km NGP — 9.9 km NBakery — 10.1 km NPharmacy — 16.0 km NW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Bedous): 10.1 km to the north (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Accous): 6.7 km to the north (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Bedous): 9.9 km to the north (straight line). ^[8]

Primary school (Etsaut): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). ^[11]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 13

Days at or below 0 °C 56

Muggy days a summer 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the ACCOUS weather station, 4.8 km away at 495 m; the village itself is at 600 m. ^[12]

The village sits 105 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

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

Humidity measured at URDOS RN134, 9.9 km away at 1,074 m, over 13 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 474 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,744 mm of rain a year, spread over 154 days — about 11.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ACCOUS, 4.8 km away at 495 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Etsaut'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.
