Vitality score

Vitality score 48.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 65 % of the 9,287 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.

An average of 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 66 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ALBERTVILLE JO weather station, 1.6 km away at 332 m; the village itself is at 328 m. [10]

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

Humidity measured at ALBERTVILLE JO, 1.6 km away at 332 m, over 25 summers. [10]

An average of 1,268 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 10.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]

…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 Grignon'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.
