Vitality score

Vitality score 52.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 89 % of the 14,805 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.

An average of 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at SARLAT, 10.8 km away at 203 m, over 13 summers. ^[11]

An average of 962 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at SALIGNAC EYVIGU, 5.7 km away at 295 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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-Geniès'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.
