Vitality score
Vitality score 32.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 35 % of the 13,467 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 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BLOYE weather station, 9.4 km away at 375 m; the village itself is at 376 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MEYTHET, 9.6 km away at 455 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 79 m above 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 1,132 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at VAULX, 2.2 km away at 520 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 Hauteville-sur-Fier'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.
