Vitality score

Vitality score 33.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 75 % of the 17,984 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.

Which way the everyday services lie

Food shop — 4.4 km NGP — 4.7 km NPharmacy — 4.7 km NPrimary school — 4.8 km NBakery — 7.2 km NW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Revel): 7.2 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 20

Days at or below 0 °C 53.8

Muggy days a summer 3.1

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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the DOURGNE weather station, 10.1 km away at 234 m; the village itself is at 609 m. ^[10]

The village sits 375 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at DOURGNE, 10.1 km away at 234 m, over 16 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 375 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,236 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 10 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LES CAMMAZES, 0.1 km away at 614 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 Les Cammazes'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.
