Vitality score
Vitality score 42.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 53 % of the 10,841 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the NAINTRE weather station, 4.3 km away at 57 m; the village itself is at 54 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at THURE, 9.5 km away at 120 m, over 12 summers. [9]
That station sits 66 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 680 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at NAINTRE, 4.3 km away at 57 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
113 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 133,000 € — 1,348 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Vienne is 1,168 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]
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 Cenon-sur-Vienne'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.
