Vitality score
Vitality score 13.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 33 % of the 15,268 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 59 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BLAJAN weather station, 10.8 km away at 325 m; the village itself is at 432 m. [11]
The village sits 107 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CLARAC, 11.5 km away at 401 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 901 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST-MARCET, 4 km away at 348 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Larcan'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.
