Vitality score

Vitality score 51.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).

Better served than 17 % of the 1,763 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 17 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the VILLENEUVE-LES-MAG-INRAE weather station, 9.3 km away at 20 m; the village itself is at 58 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 18 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at VILLENEUVE-LES-MAG-INRAE, 9.3 km away at 20 m, over 11 summers. [10]

An average of 816 mm of rain a year, spread over 65 days — about 12.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at MONTPELLIER-ENSAM, 4.3 km away at 45 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

Uncertainties

sources disagree on Pharmacy

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Juvignac'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.
