Vitality score
Vitality score 14.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 18 % of the 18,059 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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 17 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the FANJEAUX_SAPC weather station, 3.5 km away at 182 m; the village itself is at 163 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 16 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at ALAIGNE, 12.9 km away at 293 m, over 24 summers. [9]
That station sits 130 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [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, 3 km away at 134 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Villesiscle'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.
