Vitality score
Vitality score 11.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 24 % of the 14,769 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 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 25 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MAUMUSSON weather station, 7.2 km away at 164 m; the village itself is at 101 m. [10]
The village sits 63 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 11 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LE HOUGA, 10.1 km away at 141 m, over 18 summers. [10]
An average of 934 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at SARRAGACHIES, 5 km away at 110 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Tarsac'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.
