Vitality score
Vitality score 56.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 96 % of the 15,683 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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the ST LEGER LA MONTAGNE_SAPC weather station, 4.1 km away at 664 m; the village itself is at 421 m. [9]
The village sits 243 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]
An average of 1,372 mm of rain a year, spread over 151 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ST LEGER LA MONTAGNE_SAPC, 4.1 km away at 664 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
