Vitality score
Vitality score 27.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 59 % of the 17,996 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the BRAY-ET-LU weather station, 2.4 km away at 30 m; the village itself is at 50 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at WY-DIT, 10.8 km away at 126 m, over 22 summers. [12]
That station sits 76 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 679 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BRAY-ET-LU, 2.4 km away at 30 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 Ambleville'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.
