Vitality score
Vitality score 45.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 11,011 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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 75 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LE PALAIS SUR VIENNE weather station, 8.4 km away at 286 m; the village itself is at 410 m. [11]
The village sits 124 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LIMOGES-BELLEGARDE, 12.5 km away at 402 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 1,274 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST SYLV CROUZIL, 6.2 km away at 423 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Bonnac-la-Côte'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.
