Vitality score
Vitality score 29/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 23 % of the 13,431 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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the RODEZ-AVEYRON weather station, 6 km away at 578 m; the village itself is at 334 m. [13]
The village sits 244 m below 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. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at RODEZ-AVEYRON, 6 km away at 578 m, over 28 summers. [13]
That station sits 244 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 862 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at RODEZ-AVEYRON, 6 km away at 578 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

…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 Clairvaux-d'Aveyron'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.
