Vitality score

Vitality score 53.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 64 % of the 6,201 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 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 19 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the MONTREDON-LABESSONNIE weather station, 14.6 km away at 566 m; the village itself is at 215 m. [10]

The village sits 351 m below 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 7 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at MONTREDON-LABESSONNIE, 14.6 km away at 566 m, over 30 summers. [10]

That station sits 351 m above 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 810 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at REALMONT, 0.3 km away at 219 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Réalmont'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.
