Vitality score

Vitality score 38.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 63 % of the 14,967 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.

Population 839 (2012) → 900 (2023): 7.3 % over 10 years. ^[6,1]

Population 979 (1990) → 900 (2023): -8.1 % over 30 years. ^[7,1]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 5.9 km SWBakery — 6.0 km SW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Castelmoron-sur-Lot): 6 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[9]

Food shop (Monclar): 0.1 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[10]

GP (Castelmoron-sur-Lot): 5.9 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[9]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 37.2

Days at or below 0 °C 50.8

Muggy days a summer 4.3

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the SAINTE-LIVRADE - M weather station, 7.1 km away at 47 m; the village itself is at 185 m. ^[11]

The village sits 138 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at SAINTE-LIVRADE-SUR-LOT, 7.2 km away at 49 m, over 21 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 136 m below 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 686 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MONCLAR, 0.5 km away at 169 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

86 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 97,500 € — 675 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

5 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 125,000 € — 594 € per m². ^[12]

The median across Lot-et-Garonne is 1,182 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.

…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 Monclar'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.
