Vitality score
Vitality score 36/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 26 % of the 9,347 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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 22 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the COULOUNIEIX weather station, 14.8 km away at 217 m; the village itself is at 63 m. [11]
The village sits 154 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 7 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at COULOUNIEIX, 14.8 km away at 217 m, over 20 summers. [11]
That station sits 154 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, 2.8 km away at 77 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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-Léon-sur-l'Isle'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.
