Vitality score

Vitality score 31.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 40 % of the 14,796 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

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 26 days a year at or above 30 °C and 77 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the MONTBAZENS weather station, 6.8 km away at 400 m; the village itself is at 462 m. [11]

The village sits 62 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 2 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at VILLEFRANCHE-DE-ROUERGUE, 16.5 km away at 330 m, over 30 summers. [11]

That station sits 132 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 1,008 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at LANUEJOULS, 3.8 km away at 511 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

42 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 167,500 € — 1,253 € per m² of built surface. [12]

The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [12]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.

…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 Anglars-Saint-Félix'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.
