Vitality score

Vitality score 49.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 9,445 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.

Market and village life

Trajectory

1968: 1,153 2023: 2,055 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 1,881 (2012) → 2,055 (2023): 9.3 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 1,086 (1990) → 2,055 (2023): 89.2 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 1,138, of which 14.2 % second homes and 10.8 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

10 km20 kmPharmacy — 10.8 km SE (Salvagnac)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 10.8 km SE Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Monclar-de-Quercy): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Monclar-de-Quercy): 0.2 km to the west (straight line). [8]

GP (Monclar-de-Quercy): 0.2 km to the east (straight line). [8]

Pharmacy (Salvagnac): 10.8 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Monclar-de-Quercy): 0.3 km to the south-east (straight line). [8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 43 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the MONTRICOUX weather station, 13.3 km away at 108 m; the village itself is at 183 m. [10]

The village sits 75 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. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at MONTAUBAN, 17.9 km away at 106 m, over 30 summers. [10]

That station sits 77 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 736 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at VAISSAC, 7.4 km away at 146 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

179 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 135,000 € — 915 € per m² of built surface. [11]

7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 51,000 € — 743 € per m². [11]

The median across Tarn-et-Garonne is 1,429 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.

…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 Monclar-de-Quercy'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.
