Vitality score

Vitality score 38.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 74 % of the 16,648 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.

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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

An average of 777 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BONNETABLE, 5.4 km away at 106 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
