Vitality score
Vitality score 80.2/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 87 % of the 896 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 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the AURILLAC - VILL weather station, 0.9 km away at 707 m; the village itself is at 624 m. [11]
The village sits 83 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at AURILLAC, 4.8 km away at 632 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 1,301 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at AURILLAC - VILL, 0.9 km away at 707 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Aurillac'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.
