Vitality score
Vitality score 21.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 41 % of the 18,015 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 39 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MONTRICOUX weather station, 7.5 km away at 108 m; the village itself is at 208 m. [10]
The village sits 100 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]
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, 1.2 km away at 146 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
