Vitality score

Vitality score 63.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 98 % of the 14,395 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.

Food shop (Cerisiers): 0 km to the west (straight line). [8]

GP (Cerisiers): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the DIXMONT weather station, 7.1 km away at 145 m; the village itself is at 144 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at COULOURS, 9.8 km away at 228 m, over 11 summers. [10]

That station sits 84 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 850 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at CERISIERS, 0.1 km away at 150 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 Cerisiers'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.
