Vitality score
Vitality score 38/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 39 % of the 11,128 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 59 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the CHAMPAGNAC LA R weather station, 5 km away at 340 m; the village itself is at 343 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CHALUS_SAPC, 13 km away at 403 m, over 10 summers. [9]
That station sits 60 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,005 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ORADOUR SUR VAY, 0.5 km away at 360 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
194 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 99,000 € — 777 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Haute-Vienne is 1,091 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]
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 Oradour-sur-Vayres'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.
