Vitality score
Vitality score 19.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 52 % of the 17,055 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.

Where this sits nationally

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at PLAUZAT_SAPC, 8.1 km away at 495 m, over 18 summers. [11]
An average of 651 mm of rain a year, spread over 100 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MEILHAUD, 4.7 km away at 448 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
25 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 83,320 € — 1,089 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Puy-de-Dôme is 1,487 € 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 Saint-Floret'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.
