Vitality score

Vitality score 23/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 35 % of the 17,728 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

Days at or above 30 °C 20

Days at or below 0 °C 57.6

Muggy days a summer 2.1

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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the MERRY-SUR-YONNE weather station, 4.5 km away at 225 m; the village itself is at 178 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MOLESMES_SAPC, 13.1 km away at 355 m, over 14 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 177 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 793 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at MERRY-SUR-YONNE, 4.5 km away at 225 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 Mailly-le-Château'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.
