Vitality score
Vitality score 33.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 65 % of the 17,350 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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the FUISSE weather station, 2.7 km away at 260 m; the village itself is at 283 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at MACON, 4.6 km away at 219 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 64 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 803 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at FUISSE, 2.7 km away at 260 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Chaintré'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.
