Vitality score
Vitality score 32.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 26 % of the 11,969 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 83 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the RIOM weather station, 8.8 km away at 360 m; the village itself is at 699 m. [11]
The village sits 339 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °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 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at PUY-DE-DOME-CG, 18.7 km away at 1,415 m, over 15 summers. [11]
That station sits 716 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 746 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at VOLVIC, 7.2 km away at 472 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
56 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 224,250 € — 1,351 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Puy-de-Dôme is 1,487 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Loubeyrat'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.
