Vitality score
Vitality score 67.5/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 93 % of the 3,223 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 229 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the PETIT-BOURG ROUJOL weather station, 5.6 km away at 12 m; the village itself is at 14 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 91 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CAPESTERRE-B-EAU NEUFCHATEAU, 6.6 km away at 253 m, over 18 summers. [9]
That station sits 239 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.97 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 2,663 mm of rain a year, spread over 223 days — about 11.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at GOYAVE CHRISTOPHE, 2.8 km away at 115 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Goyave'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.
