Vitality score

Vitality score 7.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 67 % of the 93 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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 75 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the AUPS weather station, 7.1 km away at 497 m; the village itself is at 853 m. [9]

The village sits 356 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. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at REGUSSE, 13.6 km away at 561 m, over 22 summers. [9]

That station sits 292 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]

An average of 993 mm of rain a year, spread over 79 days — about 12.6 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at VERIGNON, 0.6 km away at 839 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
