Vitality score

Vitality score 33.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 88 % of the 17,354 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Primary school GP — 4.3 km NWBakery — 5.5 km SWFood shop — 6.1 km SWPharmacy — 6.2 km SW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Saint-Sauveur): 5.5 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Mouleydier): 6.1 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Saint-Georges-de-Montclard): 4.3 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 28.6

Days at or below 0 °C 55.9

Muggy days a summer 6.7

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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the BERGERAC TABAC weather station, 10.8 km away at 33 m; the village itself is at 127 m. ^[12]

The village sits 94 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 7 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at BERGERAC TABAC, 10.8 km away at 33 m, over 17 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 94 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 850 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LALINDE, 9.9 km away at 40 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Liorac-sur-Louyre'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.
