Vitality score

Vitality score 47.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 89 % of the 16,707 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.

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 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ST-ALBAN DES HURTIERES weather station, 9.4 km away at 610 m; the village itself is at 291 m. [10]

The village sits 319 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]

An average of 1,182 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 9.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at BOURGNEUF, 1.3 km away at 300 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
