Vitality score
Vitality score 30.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 64 % of the 17,915 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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LAGORCE weather station, 4.8 km away at 22 m; the village itself is at 76 m. [11]
The village sits 54 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °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 15 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST-MARTIN-DU-BO, 4.9 km away at 66 m, over 12 summers. [11]
An average of 838 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at GUITRES, 2.6 km away at 20 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 Bayas'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.
