Vitality score
Vitality score 7.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 7 % of the 11,635 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BENEVENT_SAPC weather station, 9 km away at 460 m; the village itself is at 401 m. [10]
The village sits 59 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 3 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at GUERET-GRANCHER, 10.1 km away at 546 m, over 17 summers. [10]
That station sits 145 m above 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 1,009 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BENEVENT_SAPC, 9 km away at 460 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Gartempe'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.
