Vitality score
Vitality score 25.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 83 % of the 15,155 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.

An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 79 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CUNLHAT weather station, 3.9 km away at 700 m; the village itself is at 661 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at COURPIERE, 12.2 km away at 455 m, over 21 summers. [10]
That station sits 206 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 999 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]

…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 Ceilloux'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.
