Vitality score
Vitality score 47.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 70 % of the 11,240 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 43 days a year at or above 30 °C and 23 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the PEZENAS-TOURBES weather station, 6.8 km away at 40 m; the village itself is at 24 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at PEZENAS-TOURBES, 6.8 km away at 40 m, over 30 summers. [9]
An average of 644 mm of rain a year, spread over 60 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at PEZENAS-DDE, 4.3 km away at 15 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
117 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 199,600 € — 1,929 € per m² of built surface. [10]
11 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 147,205 € — 1,205 € per m². [10]
The median across Hérault is 2,750 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]
These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.

…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 Lézignan-la-Cèbe'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.
