Vitality score
Vitality score 55.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 86 % of the 10,591 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 2 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the DIEPPE weather station, 19.2 km away at 40 m; the village itself is at 180 m. [9]
The village sits 140 m above 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at DIEPPE, 19.2 km away at 40 m, over 30 summers. [9]
That station sits 140 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 982 mm of rain a year, spread over 145 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ARDOUVAL, 5.2 km away at 180 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Les Grandes-Ventes'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.
