Vitality score
Vitality score 50.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 91 % of the 16,085 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 728 (2012) → 743 (2023): 2.1 % over 10 years. [5,1]
Population 753 (1990) → 743 (2023): -1.3 % over 30 years. [6,1]
Dwellings (2023): 526, of which 15.8 % second homes and 12.9 % vacant. [7]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Saint-Germain-les-Belles): 5.6 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Meuzac): 0.3 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Masseret): 6.5 km to the east (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Magnac-Bourg): 7.2 km to the north (straight line). [11]
Primary school (Meuzac): 0 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the ST GERMAIN BELL weather station, 7.9 km away at 418 m; the village itself is at 397 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at ST YRIEIX LA PE, 16 km away at 404 m, over 30 summers. [12]
An average of 1,132 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ST GERM - MAN, 6.2 km away at 390 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
70 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 90,000 € — 891 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Haute-Vienne is 1,091 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]
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 Meuzac'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.
