Vitality score
Vitality score 36.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 88 % of the 17,890 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 75 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the FOUGEROLLES_SAPC weather station, 10.1 km away at 315 m; the village itself is at 354 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LUXEUIL, 10.9 km away at 271 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 83 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,513 mm of rain a year, spread over 156 days — about 9.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at FAUCOGNEY, 5.5 km away at 360 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 Amage'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.
