Confidence: high.
Better served than 21 % of the 14,595 communes of a similar size.

Measured at the TARASCON SUR AR weather station, 7.7 km away at 475 m; the village itself is at 505 m. [11]
An average of 921 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at VERDUN, 2.4 km away at 546 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
16 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 126,000 € — 1,195 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Ariège is 1,295 € 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.
