Vitality score
Vitality score 55.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 92 % of the 14,609 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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CRESSENSAC weather station, 10.1 km away at 294 m; the village itself is at 128 m. [12]
The village sits 166 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]
An average of 898 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at VAYRAC - BROUSS, 5.4 km away at 152 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
