Vitality score

Vitality score 48/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 86 % of the 15,511 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.

Days at or below 0 °C 19.9

Muggy days a summer 9.7

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CARCASSONNE weather station, 7.8 km away at 128 m; the village itself is at 131 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at CARCASSONNE, 7.8 km away at 128 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

An average of 719 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at MONTCLAR, 6.1 km away at 220 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 Leuc'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.
