Vitality score
Vitality score 40/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 82 % of the 17,604 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.

Dwellings (2023): 327, of which 12.2 % second homes and 8 % vacant. [7]

Food shop (Manzac-sur-Vern): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). [9]
GP (Manzac-sur-Vern): 0 km to the east (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 24 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the COULOUNIEIX weather station, 10.7 km away at 217 m; the village itself is at 103 m. [11]
The village sits 114 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at COULOUNIEIX, 10.7 km away at 217 m, over 20 summers. [11]
That station sits 114 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 887 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST ASTIER, 7.7 km away at 77 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
38 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 148,555 € — 1,050 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Dordogne is 1,186 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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 Manzac-sur-Vern'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.
