Vitality score
Vitality score 31.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 31 % of the 13,501 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
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the THURE weather station, 6.7 km away at 120 m; the village itself is at 49 m. [11]
The village sits 71 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at THURE, 6.7 km away at 120 m, over 12 summers. [11]
That station sits 71 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 726 mm of rain a year, spread over 113 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CHATELLERAULT, 5 km away at 116 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Antran'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.
