Vitality score

Vitality score 46.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 13,286 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 24.4

Days at or below 0 °C 38.9

Muggy days a summer 3.1

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 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CHANTONNAY weather station, 11 km away at 93 m; the village itself is at 73 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at POUZAUGES SA, 13.7 km away at 153 m, over 20 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 80 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 895 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at CHANTONNAY, 11 km away at 93 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 Bazoges-en-Pareds'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.
