Vitality score
Vitality score 32.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 83 % of the 17,748 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the ST LEONARD NOBL weather station, 9.3 km away at 346 m; the village itself is at 376 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at EYMOUTIERS, 10.6 km away at 557 m, over 27 summers. [12]
That station sits 181 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,184 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at CHATEAUNEUF LA, 7.1 km away at 425 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Masléon'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.
