Vitality score

Vitality score 49.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 69 % of the 9,564 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

An average of 68 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the MONTFORT-SUR-ARGENS_SAPC weather station, 9.1 km away at 141 m; the village itself is at 198 m. ^[10]

The village sits 57 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °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 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at ENTRECASTEAUX, 10.9 km away at 279 m, over 25 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 81 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 876 mm of rain a year, spread over 67 days — about 13.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at CABASSE, 2.8 km away at 171 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
