Vitality score
Vitality score 44.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 51 % of the 8,876 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.

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Connaux): 5.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Saint-Victor-la-Coste): 1.3 km to the north-east (straight line). [10]
GP (Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres): 4.7 km to the east (straight line). [11]
Pharmacy (Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres): 5.6 km to the east (straight line). [11]
Primary school (Saint-Victor-la-Coste): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 54 days a year at or above 30 °C and 24 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CHUSCLAN weather station, 9.8 km away at 30 m; the village itself is at 148 m. [12]
The village sits 118 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 7 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at CHUSCLAN, 9.8 km away at 30 m, over 26 summers. [12]
That station sits 118 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 827 mm of rain a year, spread over 70 days — about 11.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at TRESQUES, 7.7 km away at 79 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
113 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 269,000 € — 2,524 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Gard is 2,338 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [13]
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-Victor-la-Coste'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.
