Vitality score
Vitality score 40.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 37 % of the 8,589 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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LA COURONNE weather station, 8.5 km away at 58 m; the village itself is at 74 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LA COURONNE, 8.5 km away at 58 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 936 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at TORSAC, 6.3 km away at 151 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
130 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 150,000 € — 1,000 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Charente is 1,144 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.

…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 Mouthiers-sur-Boëme'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.
