Vitality score

Vitality score 56/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 86 % of the 10,178 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.

GP (Conlie): 0.4 km to the south-east (straight line). [8]

Climate

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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 40 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the EPINEU LE CHEVR weather station, 13.3 km away at 122 m; the village itself is at 120 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at ROUESSE-VASSE, 15.6 km away at 206 m, over 21 summers. [10]

That station sits 86 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 823 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at TENNIE, 3.2 km away at 103 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Conlie'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.
