Vitality score
Vitality score 20.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 55 % of the 16,971 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 69 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LUCELLE_SAPC weather station, 6.8 km away at 690 m; the village itself is at 580 m. [11]
The village sits 110 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 1,090 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at KIFFIS, 0.4 km away at 576 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
