Vitality score

Vitality score 59.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 97 % of the 15,532 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

Bakery (Saint-Savin): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[9]

Food shop (Saint-Savin): 0 km to the north (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Saint-Germain): 0.5 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 21.6

Days at or below 0 °C 52.6

Muggy days a summer 4.8

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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CHAUVIGNY-Mareu weather station, 12.3 km away at 140 m; the village itself is at 82 m. ^[11]

The village sits 58 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 JOURNET, 13.3 km away at 120 m, over 10 summers. ^[11]

An average of 782 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ANTIGNY, 0.9 km away at 99 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 Saint-Savin'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.
