Vitality score
Vitality score 60.7/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 94 % of the 10,810 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 41 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CASTRES weather station, 12.8 km away at 196 m; the village itself is at 292 m. [12]
The village sits 96 m above 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 5 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at MONTREDON-LABESSONNIE, 17.6 km away at 566 m, over 30 summers. [12]
That station sits 274 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 810 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at REALMONT, 8.9 km away at 219 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

Villages like this one
Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Lautrec'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.
