Vitality score
Vitality score 62.7/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 98 % of the 15,597 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the DUSSAC weather station, 17.8 km away at 335 m; the village itself is at 203 m. [9]
The village sits 132 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at DUSSAC, 17.8 km away at 335 m, over 11 summers. [9]
That station sits 132 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 926 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at THENON-MAN, 14.6 km away at 270 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
78 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 113,000 € — 1,172 € per m² of built surface. [10]
6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 128,350 € — 814 € per m². [10]
The median across Dordogne is 1,186 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [10]
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 Hautefort'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.
