Vitality score

Vitality score 65.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 98 % of the 9,158 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

Days at or above 30 °C 22.7

Days at or below 0 °C 81.9

Muggy days a summer 0.7

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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 82 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the LAISSAC weather station, 1 km away at 599 m; the village itself is at 595 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ST-COME-D'OLT, 14.9 km away at 380 m, over 23 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 215 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 884 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LAISSAC, 1 km away at 599 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Laissac-Sévérac l'Église'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.
