Vitality score
Vitality score 45.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 70 % of the 13,212 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 53 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LANTOSQUE_SAPC weather station, 0.5 km away at 550 m; the village itself is at 475 m. [10]
The village sits 75 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 9 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at PEIRA CAVA, 6.5 km away at 1,443 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 968 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 924 mm of rain a year, spread over 77 days — about 12 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LANTOSQUE_SAPC, 0.5 km away at 550 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 Lantosque'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.
