Vitality score
Vitality score 30.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 86 % of the 16,584 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. [11]
Measured at the CAZALS - DDE weather station, 7.7 km away at 184 m; the village itself is at 227 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ANGLARS, 9.2 km away at 104 m, over 15 summers. [11]
That station sits 123 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 902 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CAZALS - DDE, 7.7 km away at 184 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Goujounac'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.
