Vitality score

Vitality score 58.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 49 % of the 2,033 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.

Market and village life

Trajectory

1968: 4,741 2023: 12,080 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 11,070 (2012) → 12,080 (2023): 9.1 % over 10 years. ^[5,1]

Population 9,705 (1990) → 12,080 (2023): 24.5 % over 30 years. ^[6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 6,436, of which 2.9 % second homes and 3.9 % vacant. ^[7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Food shop, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Bakery — 0.6 km SW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Onet-le-Château): 0.6 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Onet-le-Château): 0.4 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[8]

GP (Onet-le-Château): 0.4 km to the east (straight line). ^[8]

Pharmacy (Onet-le-Château): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). ^[8]

Primary school (Onet-le-Château): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 23.4

Days at or below 0 °C 57.2

Muggy days a summer 0.6

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 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the FLAVIN weather station, 9.6 km away at 657 m; the village itself is at 547 m. ^[9]

The village sits 110 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. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at RODEZ-AVEYRON, 10.1 km away at 578 m, over 28 summers. ^[9]

An average of 856 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at OLEMPS, 5.9 km away at 601 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

…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 Onet-le-Château'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.
