Vitality score
Vitality score 26.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 86 % of the 14,851 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 96 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the CHICHILIANNE weather station, 6.3 km away at 1,010 m; the village itself is at 794 m. [13]
The village sits 216 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at LA MURE- RADOME, 18.4 km away at 885 m, over 21 summers. [13]
That station sits 91 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 921 mm of rain a year, spread over 97 days — about 9.5 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at CLELLES, 3.7 km away at 815 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

…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 Le Percy'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.
