Vitality score
Vitality score 16.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 54 % of the 13,935 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 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the GENOLHAC weather station, 4.2 km away at 519 m; the village itself is at 505 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LA GRAND COMBE, 11.7 km away at 499 m, over 23 summers. [11]
An average of 1,668 mm of rain a year, spread over 94 days — about 17.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at GENOLHAC, 4.2 km away at 519 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
17 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 120,000 € — 1,855 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Gard is 2,338 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Aujac'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.
