Vitality score

Vitality score 7.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 21 % of the 3,975 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.

Where this sits nationally

An average of 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the CAUSSENS weather station, 9.5 km away at 184 m; the village itself is at 151 m. [11]

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

Humidity measured at CAUSSENS, 9.5 km away at 184 m, over 14 summers. [11]

An average of 656 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [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 Larroque-Engalin'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.
