Vitality score

Vitality score 60.8/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 72 % of the 2,722 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

Days at or above 30 °C 54.6▸

Days at or below 0 °C 19.2

Muggy days a summer 4.1

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 55 days a year at or above 30 °C and 19 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the GADAGNE weather station, 1.9 km away at 110 m; the village itself is at 35 m. ^[10]

The village sits 75 m below 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 4 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at AVIGNON, 3.5 km away at 34 m, over 28 summers. ^[10]

An average of 658 mm of rain a year, spread over 65 days — about 10.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at GADAGNE, 1.9 km away at 110 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Morières-lès-Avignon'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.
