Vitality score
Vitality score 26/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 36 % of the 16,710 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 97 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the GROISY_SAPC weather station, 3.5 km away at 670 m; the village itself is at 773 m. [12]
The village sits 103 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at MEYTHET, 13.8 km away at 455 m, over 29 summers. [12]
That station sits 318 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,365 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at GROISY_SAPC, 3.5 km away at 670 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Villy-le-Bouveret'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.
