Vitality score
Vitality score 44/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 59 % of the 11,240 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 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the NANTIAT weather station, 0.7 km away at 335 m; the village itself is at 339 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at BELLAC, 15.5 km away at 246 m, over 11 summers. [9]
That station sits 93 m below 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 1,104 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at NANTIAT, 0.7 km away at 335 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Nantiat'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.
