Vitality score
Vitality score 38.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 73 % of the 16,597 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.

Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Faux-en-Périgord): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Saint-Germain-et-Mons): 5.6 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Issigeac): 7.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [10]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the BERGERAC weather station, 10 km away at 49 m; the village itself is at 154 m. [12]
The village sits 105 m above 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at BERGERAC, 10 km away at 49 m, over 30 summers. [12]
That station sits 105 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 807 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ISSIGEAC, 7 km away at 106 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
52 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 168,900 € — 1,043 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Dordogne is 1,186 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]
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 Faux-en-Périgord'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.
