Vitality score

Vitality score 54.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 82 % of the 8,646 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.

An average of 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 18 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the PAUILLAC weather station, 4.2 km away at 26 m; the village itself is at 29 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at PAUILLAC, 4.2 km away at 26 m, over 30 summers. [9]

An average of 842 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [9]

…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 Cissac-Médoc'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.
