Vitality score

Vitality score 59.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 54 % of the 2,031 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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the BRINDAS weather station, 4.1 km away at 317 m; the village itself is at 283 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

…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 Craponne'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.
