Vitality score

Vitality score 45/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 68 % of the 12,927 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.

Measured at the ST YRIEIX LA PE weather station, 6.4 km away at 404 m; the village itself is at 351 m. ^[9]

The village sits 53 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. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at ST YRIEIX LA PE, 6.4 km away at 404 m, over 30 summers. ^[9]

That station sits 53 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[9]

An average of 1,134 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at ST YRIEIX LA PE, 6.4 km away at 404 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]
