Vitality score

Vitality score 39.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 55 % of the 13,490 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.

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at VARENNES-ST-SA, 17.2 km away at 207 m, over 23 summers. [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 Savigny-en-Revermont'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.
