Vitality score
Vitality score 44.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 93 % of the 18,032 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST MARTIN DE FRESSENGEAS weather station, 3.7 km away at 277 m; the village itself is at 261 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST MARTIN DE FRESSENGEAS, 3.7 km away at 277 m, over 19 summers. [10]
An average of 1,052 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST MARTIN DE FRESSENGEAS, 3.7 km away at 277 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
23 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 135,000 € — 1,250 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Dordogne is 1,186 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]
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-Martin-de-Fressengeas'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.
