Vitality score
Vitality score 60.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 77 % of the 3,638 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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the HAUTS DE SAINTE-ROSE_SAPC weather station, 4.7 km away at 820 m; the village itself is at 25 m. [9]
The village sits 795 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.9 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
An average of 4,192 mm of rain a year, spread over 221 days — about 19 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at RIVIERE DE L'EST - CIRAD, 3.7 km away at 144 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
