Confidence: high.
Better served than 99 % of the 17,464 communes of a similar size.

…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 Pont de Montvert - Sud Mont Lozère'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.
