Vitality score
Vitality score 38.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 84 % of the 18,030 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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 68 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LE ROULIER_SAPC weather station, 11 km away at 449 m; the village itself is at 395 m. [10]
The village sits 54 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ROVILLE, 18.6 km away at 278 m, over 26 summers. [10]
That station sits 117 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,125 mm of rain a year, spread over 155 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BROUVELIEURES, 0.4 km away at 395 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Brouvelieures'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.
