Vitality score

Vitality score 45.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 67 % of the 11,954 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 42

Days at or below 0 °C 62.9

Muggy days a summer 0.4

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 42 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the SANNES weather station, 2.8 km away at 307 m; the village itself is at 363 m. ^[10]

The village sits 56 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 0 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at LA BASTIDE DES JOURDANS, 7.6 km away at 381 m, over 29 summers. ^[10]

An average of 680 mm of rain a year, spread over 65 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at SANNES, 2.8 km away at 307 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 La Motte-d'Aigues'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.
