Vitality score
Vitality score 39.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 50 % of the 12,351 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.

Bakery (Saint-Paul-de-Jarrat): 1.2 km to the west (straight line). [9]

GP (Saint-Paul-de-Jarrat): 1 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 72 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the TARASCON SUR AR weather station, 8.6 km away at 475 m; the village itself is at 469 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at COS, 10 km away at 519 m, over 21 summers. [12]
An average of 1,227 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 9.7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at NALZEN, 8.1 km away at 630 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
98 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 128,300 € — 1,382 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Ariège is 1,295 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Saint-Paul-de-Jarrat'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.
