Vitality score
Vitality score 58.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 90 % of the 9,170 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 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the FANJEAUX_SAPC weather station, 5.8 km away at 182 m; the village itself is at 259 m. [9]
The village sits 77 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 13 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at ALAIGNE, 10.3 km away at 293 m, over 24 summers. [9]
An average of 690 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BRAM, 4.8 km away at 134 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Montréal'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.
