Vitality score
Vitality score 46.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 70 % of the 12,471 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.

Market and village life
Weekly market (reported, unverified): Wednesday, Sunday. [6,7]
Trajectory
Population 1,437 (2012) → 1,328 (2023): -7.6 % over 10 years. [8,1]
Population 1,785 (1990) → 1,328 (2023): -25.6 % over 30 years. [9,1]
Dwellings (2023): 1,086, of which 28.5 % second homes and 12.8 % vacant. [10]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [14]
Measured at the SOUSCEYRAC weather station, 0.5 km away at 550 m; the village itself is at 560 m. [14]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [14]
Humidity measured at COMIAC, 10.7 km away at 562 m, over 20 summers. [14]
An average of 1,461 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. [14]
Rainfall measured at SOUSCEYRAC, 0.5 km away at 550 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [14]
What property sold for
109 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 101,505 € — 915 € per m² of built surface. [15]
5 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 53,571 € — 501 € per m². [15]
The median across Lot is 1,246 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [15]
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.
Uncertainties
Two sources name market days with none in common. They may be separate markets in the same commune, or one may be out of date — all days are listed and none is treated as confirmed. [6,7]

…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 Sousceyrac-en-Quercy'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.
