Vitality score

Vitality score 54.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 88 % of the 13,702 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 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the BUDOS weather station, 8.4 km away at 24 m; the village itself is at 31 m. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 11 days a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at SAUTERNES, 10.3 km away at 65 m, over 22 summers. [12]

An average of 821 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [12]

…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 Villandraut'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.
