Vitality score

Vitality score 29.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 48 % of the 16,732 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

Measured at the CAYEUX-SUR-MER weather station, 14.3 km away at 4 m; the village itself is at 92 m. ^[11]

The village sits 88 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at CAYEUX-SUR-MER, 14.3 km away at 4 m, over 18 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 88 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 937 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at FEUQUIERES-EN-VIMEU, 2 km away at 100 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
