Vitality score

Vitality score 31.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 61 % of the 17,522 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

Days at or above 30 °C 8.4

Days at or below 0 °C 103.7▸

Muggy days a summer 0

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 104 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the GROISY_SAPC weather station, 6.2 km away at 670 m; the village itself is at 857 m. ^[12]

The village sits 187 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, 15.5 km away at 455 m, over 29 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 402 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 1,307 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at BEAUMONT, 4.3 km away at 690 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 Vovray-en-Bornes'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.
