Vitality score
Vitality score 14.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 59 % of the 10,230 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 76 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the MONTPAON FONDAM weather station, 6.5 km away at 519 m; the village itself is at 646 m. [13]
The village sits 127 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. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at CORNUS, 10.3 km away at 718 m, over 23 summers. [13]
That station sits 72 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 1,196 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at MONTPAON FONDAM, 6.5 km away at 519 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 Le Clapier'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.
