Vitality score

Vitality score 63.1/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 96 % of the 11,240 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.

Market and village life

A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [5]

Trajectory

1968: 1,649 peak 1975: 1,763 2023: 1,580 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 1,581 (2012) → 1,580 (2023): -0.1 % over 10 years. [6,1]

Population 1,593 (1990) → 1,580 (2023): -0.8 % over 30 years. [7,1]

Dwellings (2023): 1,331, of which 21.6 % second homes and 12 % vacant. [8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

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 44 days a year at or above 30 °C and 65 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the LES EYZIES DE TAYAC weather station, 9.8 km away at 112 m; the village itself is at 69 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 9 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at BELVES, 12 km away at 238 m, over 30 summers. [11]

That station sits 169 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 900 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at LES EYZIES DE TAYAC, 9.8 km away at 112 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

180 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,000 € — 1,465 € per m² of built surface. [12]

27 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 96,350 € — 1,429 € per m². [12]

The median across Dordogne is 1,186 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Saint-Cyprien'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.
