Vitality score

Vitality score 59.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 98 % of the 17,580 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 0 days a year at or above 30 °C and 115 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the La Plagne weather station, 5.9 km away at 1,980 m; the village itself is at 1,235 m. [10]

The village sits 745 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 883 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at BOZEL, 3.8 km away at 865 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
