Vitality score
Vitality score 31/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 61 % of the 17,686 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 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LACAPELLE-BIRON-PAILLOLES weather station, 4.6 km away at 195 m; the village itself is at 148 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at LACAPELLE-BIRON, 5.7 km away at 235 m, over 20 summers. [12]
That station sits 87 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 938 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LACAPELLE-BIRON-PAILLOLES, 4.6 km away at 195 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 Blanquefort-sur-Briolance'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.
