Vitality score
Vitality score 14.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 53 % of the 11,027 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 23 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the FANJEAUX_SAPC weather station, 9.9 km away at 182 m; the village itself is at 317 m. [11]
The village sits 135 m above 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CASTELNAUDARY, 12 km away at 160 m, over 28 summers. [11]
That station sits 157 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 836 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at RIBOUISSE, 4.6 km away at 302 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Cazalrenoux'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.
