Vitality score

Vitality score 38.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 92 % of the 17,713 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

Days at or above 30 °C 28.2

Days at or below 0 °C 44.3

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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CHINDRIEUX weather station, 9.9 km away at 340 m; the village itself is at 238 m. ^[11]

The village sits 102 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. ^[11]

An average of 1,238 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at YENNE, 6.3 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
