Vitality score
Vitality score 22.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 69 % of the 16,281 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 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the SAINT-SYLVESTRE weather station, 7.8 km away at 136 m; the village itself is at 128 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LACAPELLE-BIRON, 10.6 km away at 235 m, over 20 summers. [11]
That station sits 107 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 755 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at SAINT-SYLVESTRE, 7.8 km away at 136 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 Lacaussade'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.
