Vitality score

Vitality score 52.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 78 % of the 9,481 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.

Market and village life

A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [5,6]

Trajectory

1968: 3,108 2023: 2,042 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 2,052 (2012) → 2,042 (2023): -0.5 % over 10 years. [7,1]

Population 2,441 (1990) → 2,042 (2023): -16.3 % over 30 years. [8,1]

Dwellings (2023): 1,438, of which 13.3 % second homes and 14.3 % vacant. [9]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the EYMOUTIERS weather station, 3.4 km away at 557 m; the village itself is at 416 m. [11]

The village sits 141 m below 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 EYMOUTIERS, 3.4 km away at 557 m, over 27 summers. [11]

That station sits 141 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]

An average of 1,197 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 8.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at EYMOUTIER - MAN, 0.8 km away at 426 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

173 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 107,000 € — 1,021 € per m² of built surface. [12]

47 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 58,000 € — 439 € per m². [12]

The median across Haute-Vienne is 1,091 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Eymoutiers'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.
