Vitality score
Vitality score 24.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 97 % of the 6,785 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 46 days a year at or above 30 °C and 15 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the OCTON weather station, 9.1 km away at 184 m; the village itself is at 130 m. [10]
The village sits 54 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST ANDRE DE SANGONIS, 10.5 km away at 86 m, over 20 summers. [10]
An average of 696 mm of rain a year, spread over 64 days — about 10.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CANET, 6.2 km away at 46 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
No price figures: fewer than five comparable sales were registered here between 2021 and 2025. A median of two sales is not a median. [11]
Uncertainties
No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Villeneuvette'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.
