Vitality score

Vitality score 29.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 18,035 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.

An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ROUVROY-EN-SANTERRE weather station, 12.8 km away at 95 m; the village itself is at 92 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [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 Rethonvillers'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.
