Vitality score
Vitality score 45.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 29 % of the 5,531 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
An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 90 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the GROISY_SAPC weather station, 0.5 km away at 670 m; the village itself is at 719 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MEYTHET, 11.5 km away at 455 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 264 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,365 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at GROISY_SAPC, 0.5 km away at 670 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 Groisy'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.
