Vitality score

Vitality score 43.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 19 % of the 5,013 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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 59 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ST-GEORGES-REN weather station, 3.8 km away at 190 m; the village itself is at 184 m. [10]

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

Humidity measured at ST-GEORGES-REN, 3.8 km away at 190 m, over 23 summers. [10]

An average of 726 mm of rain a year, spread over 102 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Arnas'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.
