Vitality score
Vitality score 11.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 36 % of the 11,510 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 50 days a year at or above 30 °C and 25 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the PUYLAURENS weather station, 10.9 km away at 312 m; the village itself is at 283 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LAVAUR, 18.4 km away at 131 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 152 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 778 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PUYLAURENS, 10.9 km away at 312 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Mouzens'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.
