Vitality score
Vitality score 39.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 37 % of the 9,170 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the FERRIERES - ONF weather station, 2.7 km away at 101 m; the village itself is at 115 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at TORCY, 8 km away at 43 m, over 28 summers. [10]
That station sits 72 m below 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 713 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 5.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at FERRIERES - ONF, 2.7 km away at 101 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 Pontcarré'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.
