Vitality score
Vitality score 16.5/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 47 % of the 15,585 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-PRIVAT weather station, 6.6 km away at 585 m; the village itself is at 464 m. [10]
The village sits 121 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °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 ARGENTAT, 12.8 km away at 190 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 274 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,339 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST-PRIVAT, 6.6 km away at 585 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
22 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 70,000 € — 999 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Corrèze is 1,106 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Saint-Cirgues-la-Loutre'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.
