Vitality score

Vitality score 30.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 62 % of the 17,879 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 71.9

Muggy days a summer 0.6

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 72 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ALBERTVILLE JO weather station, 10.5 km away at 332 m; the village itself is at 401 m. ^[11]

The village sits 69 m above 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at ALBERTVILLE JO, 10.5 km away at 332 m, over 25 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 69 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,207 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 10.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LA LECHERE_SAPC, 5.7 km away at 1,195 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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 Rognaix'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.
