Vitality score
Vitality score 61.5/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 84 % of the 5,102 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 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the ST-LOUBERT weather station, 10.4 km away at 34 m; the village itself is at 19 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at ST SULPICE DE POMMIERS, 13 km away at 82 m, over 23 summers. [9]
That station sits 63 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 811 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ST-LOUBERT, 10.4 km away at 34 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 La Réole'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.
