Vitality score
Vitality score 56.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 86 % of the 8,648 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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LA TOUR BLANCHE weather station, 9.4 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 115 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at ST MARTIAL VIVEYROLS, 14.7 km away at 166 m, over 28 summers. [12]
That station sits 51 m above 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 925 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at MAREUIL, 0.6 km away at 126 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]

…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 Mareuil 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.
