Vitality score

Vitality score 38.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 84 % of the 17,955 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

Measured at the MT-ST-VINCENT weather station, 7.8 km away at 601 m; the village itself is at 241 m. ^[11]

The village sits 360 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at MT-ST-VINCENT, 7.8 km away at 601 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 360 m above 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 844 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ST-GENGOUX-LE-NATIONAL, 7.2 km away at 260 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
