Vitality score
Vitality score 47.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 78 % of the 13,946 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 45 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the SANNES weather station, 3.3 km away at 307 m; the village itself is at 258 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at CADENET, 9.2 km away at 152 m, over 17 summers. [12]
That station sits 106 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 680 mm of rain a year, spread over 65 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at SANNES, 3.3 km away at 307 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

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 Ansouis'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.
