Vitality score
Vitality score 43.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: low (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette); sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 32 % of the 6,702 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 62 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the LA ROUVIERE weather station, 2.7 km away at 79 m; the village itself is at 86 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at DEAUX, 15 km away at 185 m, over 30 summers. [9]
That station sits 99 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 891 mm of rain a year, spread over 67 days — about 13.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LA ROUVIERE, 2.7 km away at 79 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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-Geniès-de-Malgoirès'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.
