Vitality score
Vitality score 32/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 58 % of the 16,888 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 80 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MONTBAZENS weather station, 4.2 km away at 400 m; the village itself is at 493 m. [10]
The village sits 93 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 RODEZ-AVEYRON, 18.9 km away at 578 m, over 28 summers. [10]
That station sits 85 m above 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 969 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MONTBAZENS, 4.2 km away at 400 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 Roussennac'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.
