Vitality score
Vitality score 17.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 32 % of the 17,926 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CHERONNAC_SAPC weather station, 0.6 km away at 295 m; the village itself is at 290 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST JUNIEN, 19.8 km away at 271 m, over 29 summers. [10]
An average of 1,073 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CHERONNAC_SAPC, 0.6 km away at 295 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
53 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 110,000 € — 993 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Haute-Vienne is 1,091 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]
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 Chéronnac'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.
