Vitality score
Vitality score 69.8/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).
Better served than 97 % of the 3,446 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 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the NERAC - MAN weather station, 3.7 km away at 80 m; the village itself is at 62 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at FARGUES-SUR-OURBISE, 16.5 km away at 124 m, over 11 summers. [11]
That station sits 62 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 732 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at NERAC - MAN, 3.7 km away at 80 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 Nérac'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.
