Vitality score
Vitality score 48.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 78 % of the 13,627 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.

Trajectory
Population 1,179 (2012) → 1,126 (2023): -4.5 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 1,269 (1990) → 1,126 (2023): -11.3 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 835, of which 15 % second homes and 12.8 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (L'Isle-Jourdain): 0.5 km to the south (straight line). [9]
Food shop (L'Isle-Jourdain): 0.4 km to the south (straight line). [9]
GP (L'Isle-Jourdain): 0.6 km to the south (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Availles-Limouzine): 13 km to the south (straight line). [10]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LE-VIGEANT weather station, 1.5 km away at 117 m; the village itself is at 143 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LE-VIGEANT, 1.5 km away at 117 m, over 10 summers. [11]
An average of 824 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ISLE-JOURDAIN G, 0.6 km away at 158 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
140 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 89,450 € — 712 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Vienne is 1,168 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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 L'Isle-Jourdain'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.
