Vitality score
Vitality score 32.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 75 % of the 18,022 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 47 days a year at or above 30 °C and 76 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CAZALS - DDE weather station, 8.2 km away at 184 m; the village itself is at 189 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 9 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at ANGLARS, 10.5 km away at 104 m, over 15 summers. [12]
That station sits 85 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 902 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at CAZALS - DDE, 8.2 km away at 184 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
40 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 177,850 € — 1,270 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Lot is 1,246 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [13]
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 Frayssinet-le-Gélat'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.
