Vitality score

Vitality score 19.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 36 % of the 18,059 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 17.8

Days at or below 0 °C 46

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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the PARTHENAY_SAPC weather station, 8.9 km away at 159 m; the village itself is at 223 m. ^[12]

The village sits 64 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

An average of 1,058 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ST-GEORGES-DE-N, 7.2 km away at 192 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
