Vitality score

Vitality score 46.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 53 % of the 7,744 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 3.5▸

Days at or below 0 °C 18.8▸

Muggy days a summer 1.2

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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 19 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the OCTEVILLE weather station, 4 km away at 90 m; the village itself is at 40 m. ^[10]

The village sits 50 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at OCTEVILLE, 4 km away at 90 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 50 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 785 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at OCTEVILLE, 4 km away at 90 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 Fontaine-la-Mallet'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.
