Vitality score
Vitality score 37.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 37 % of the 11,063 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 45 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CAZOULS-LES-BEZIERS weather station, 7.8 km away at 97 m; the village itself is at 83 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MURVIEL LES BEZIERS, 9.3 km away at 140 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 57 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 678 mm of rain a year, spread over 59 days — about 11.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CAZOULS-LES-BEZIERS, 7.8 km away at 97 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 Corneilhan'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.
