Vitality score

Vitality score 15.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 46 % of the 14,595 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.

Population 205 (1990) → 160 (2023): -22 % over 30 years. ^[6,1]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 19.7

Days at or below 0 °C 64.3

Muggy days a summer 1.2

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LA SERRE BUSS weather station, 2.2 km away at 510 m; the village itself is at 506 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at AUZANCES_SAPC, 14.8 km away at 564 m, over 12 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 58 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 885 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LA SERRE BUSS, 2.2 km away at 510 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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-Domet'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.
