Vitality score

Vitality score 23.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 45 % of the 17,943 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

Days at or above 30 °C 33.7

Days at or below 0 °C 42.8

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 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CRESSENSAC weather station, 9.8 km away at 294 m; the village itself is at 147 m. ^[10]

The village sits 147 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]

An average of 898 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at VAYRAC - BROUSS, 6.2 km away at 152 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
