Vitality score
Vitality score 62.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 93 % of the 7,399 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 44 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the DURFORT weather station, 8.1 km away at 153 m; the village itself is at 185 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CASTELSARRASIN, 9.9 km away at 73 m, over 28 summers. [9]
That station sits 112 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 729 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at L'HONOR-DE-COS, 7.9 km away at 192 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 Lafrançaise'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.
