Vitality score
Vitality score 36.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 34 % of the 11,063 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.

Food shop (Banyuls-dels-Aspres): 1.7 km to the south (straight line). [9]
GP (Villemolaque): 2.3 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 40 days a year at or above 30 °C and 16 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the TRESSERRE weather station, 5.2 km away at 148 m; the village itself is at 70 m. [12]
The village sits 78 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at VIVES, 9.9 km away at 261 m, over 26 summers. [12]
That station sits 191 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 648 mm of rain a year, spread over 55 days — about 11.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BROUILLA, 3.8 km away at 50 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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-Jean-Lasseille'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.
