Vitality score

Vitality score 38.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 36 % of the 9,805 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 at the MONTFORT-SUR-ARGENS_SAPC weather station, 9.7 km away at 141 m; the village itself is at 270 m. ^[10]

The village sits 129 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 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at CUERS, 15.7 km away at 72 m, over 23 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 198 m below 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 977 mm of rain a year, spread over 69 days — about 14.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LA CELLE, 8.4 km away at 250 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
