Vitality score
Vitality score 19.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 11,356 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 94 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the SAUXILLANGES weather station, 2.1 km away at 460 m; the village itself is at 605 m. [9]
The village sits 145 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at ISSOIRE, 10.4 km away at 372 m, over 28 summers. [9]
That station sits 233 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 745 mm of rain a year, spread over 105 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at SAUXILLANGES, 2.1 km away at 460 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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-Quentin-sur-Sauxillanges'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.
