Vitality score
Vitality score 37.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 12 % of the 6,203 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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the FLAVIN weather station, 7.8 km away at 657 m; the village itself is at 602 m. [10]
The village sits 55 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at RODEZ-AVEYRON, 9.8 km away at 578 m, over 28 summers. [10]
An average of 856 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at OLEMPS, 2.3 km away at 601 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Olemps'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.
