Vitality score
Vitality score 25.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 86 % of the 14,305 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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 18 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-YBARS weather station, 5.4 km away at 330 m; the village itself is at 242 m. [10]
The village sits 88 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °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 8 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MONTAUT, 17.1 km away at 295 m, over 23 summers. [10]
That station sits 53 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 772 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST-YBARS, 5.4 km away at 330 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 Villeneuve-du-Latou'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.
