Vitality score
Vitality score 60.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 92 % of the 8,179 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 110 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the AYZE weather station, 9.4 km away at 449 m; the village itself is at 642 m. [9]
The village sits 193 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CLUSES, 10.8 km away at 485 m, over 11 summers. [9]
That station sits 157 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,508 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 11.4 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ST JEOIRE, 3.6 km away at 535 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
