Vitality score
Vitality score 32.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 59 % of the 17,052 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 50 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the PUJAUT weather station, 11.7 km away at 44 m; the village itself is at 132 m. [12]
The village sits 88 m above 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at PUJAUT, 11.7 km away at 44 m, over 29 summers. [12]
That station sits 88 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 669 mm of rain a year, spread over 61 days — about 11 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at PUJAUT, 11.7 km away at 44 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
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 Estézargues'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.
