Vitality score
Vitality score 48/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 75 % of the 12,863 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LATRONQUIERE weather station, 13.8 km away at 658 m; the village itself is at 379 m. [12]
The village sits 279 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at FAYCELLES, 18.1 km away at 342 m, over 20 summers. [12]
An average of 1,093 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 8.7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LACAPELLE, 0.3 km away at 396 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Lacapelle-Marival'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.
