Vitality score
Vitality score 4.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 2 % of the 9,350 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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 110 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the VALUEJOLS weather station, 11.9 km away at 1,074 m; the village itself is at 1,095 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at COLTINES, 12.1 km away at 979 m, over 27 summers. [11]
That station sits 116 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,028 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MURAT, 5.1 km away at 904 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
No price figures: fewer than five comparable sales were registered here between 2021 and 2025. A median of two sales is not a median. [12]
Uncertainties
No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Chavagnac'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.
