Vitality score

Vitality score 68.8/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 99 % of the 7,573 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.

Food shop (Amancy): 0.3 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

GP (Amancy): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]

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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 69 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ETEAUX weather station, 4.3 km away at 805 m; the village itself is at 474 m. [10]

The village sits 331 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at BONNEVILLE, 5.5 km away at 453 m, over 21 summers. [10]

An average of 1,438 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 11.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at ETEAUX, 4.3 km away at 805 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Amancy'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.
