Vitality score

Vitality score 9.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 8 % of the 16,607 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 17 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the PEYRUSSE-GRANDE weather station, 13.9 km away at 254 m; the village itself is at 159 m. [12]

The village sits 95 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. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 11 days a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at PEYRUSSE-GRANDE, 13.9 km away at 254 m, over 30 summers. [12]

That station sits 95 m above 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 851 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at MARCIAC, 7.4 km away at 152 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Ladevèze-Rivière'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.
