Vitality score

Vitality score 12.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 49 % of the 9,143 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 15.5

Days at or below 0 °C 36.4

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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the AYROS ARBOUIX weather station, 5 km away at 478 m; the village itself is at 599 m. ^[11]

The village sits 121 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

An average of 1,085 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at AYROS ARBOUIX, 5 km away at 478 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
