Vitality score

Vitality score 54/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 90 % of the 14,471 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

An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 78 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ARCHAMPS weather station, 10.2 km away at 560 m; the village itself is at 631 m. ^[11]

The village sits 71 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 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at USINENS SA, 16.2 km away at 452 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 179 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 1,307 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BEAUMONT, 6.5 km away at 690 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
