Vitality score
Vitality score 37.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 78 % of the 17,802 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.

Which way the everyday services lie

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the MORMOIRON weather station, 7.3 km away at 308 m; the village itself is at 330 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at CARPENTRAS, 7.8 km away at 98 m, over 30 summers. [12]
That station sits 232 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 678 mm of rain a year, spread over 68 days — about 10 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ST PIERRE, 3.8 km away at 290 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Crillon-le-Brave'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.
