Vitality score
Vitality score 49.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 78 % of the 12,639 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 95 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the BASSE-S-L-RUPT weather station, 16.4 km away at 445 m; the village itself is at 558 m. [9]
The village sits 113 m above 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. [9]
An average of 2,069 mm of rain a year, spread over 161 days — about 12.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LE MENIL, 7.1 km away at 665 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
