Vitality score

Vitality score 20/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 84 % of the 10,121 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

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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the MONTELS weather station, 8.8 km away at 255 m; the village itself is at 273 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at PUYCELSI, 18.4 km away at 260 m, over 21 summers. [11]

An average of 756 mm of rain a year, spread over 106 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at CORDES, 6 km away at 174 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Loubers'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.
