Vitality score
Vitality score 66.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 65 % of the 1,329 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 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 14 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SABRAN weather station, 5.2 km away at 204 m; the village itself is at 55 m. [10]
The village sits 149 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CHUSCLAN, 7.6 km away at 30 m, over 26 summers. [10]
An average of 827 mm of rain a year, spread over 70 days — about 11.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at TRESQUES, 4.6 km away at 79 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Bagnols-sur-Cèze'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.
