Vitality score
Vitality score 1.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 1 % of the 5,903 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
An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LOMNE_SAPC weather station, 1.6 km away at 447 m; the village itself is at 493 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at CAMPISTROUS, 12 km away at 593 m, over 30 summers. [12]
That station sits 100 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,226 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 8.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LOMNE_SAPC, 1.6 km away at 447 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 Bulan'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.
