Vitality score
Vitality score 8.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 10 % of the 13,781 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 96 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the AUBUSSON_SAPC weather station, 4.3 km away at 486 m; the village itself is at 472 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at FELLETIN, 12.3 km away at 635 m, over 29 summers. [9]
That station sits 163 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 932 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at AUBUSSON_SAPC, 4.3 km away at 486 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Alleyrat'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.
