Vitality score

Vitality score 8.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 10 % of the 13,248 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 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 82 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at VENISEY, 3.3 km away at 243 m, over 21 summers. [9]

An average of 909 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]

…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 Buffignécourt'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.
