Vitality score
Vitality score 14.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 17,846 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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 74 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BELMONT LIMOU weather station, 6.6 km away at 410 m; the village itself is at 463 m. [10]
The village sits 53 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MONTLAUR, 17.7 km away at 374 m, over 23 summers. [10]
That station sits 89 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 782 mm of rain a year, spread over 101 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BELMONT LIMOU, 6.6 km away at 410 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
40 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 74,950 € — 749 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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 Laval-Roquecezière'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.
