Vitality score

Vitality score 7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 9 % of the 9,442 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

An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 133 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the SAVIGNAC weather station, 2.6 km away at 680 m; the village itself is at 1,043 m. ^[9]

The village sits 363 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at ASTON, 13.1 km away at 1,781 m, over 20 summers. ^[9]

That station sits 738 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[9]

An average of 1,032 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at SAVIGNAC, 2.6 km away at 680 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

What property sold for

14 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,000 € — 1,873 € per m² of built surface. ^[10]

The median across Ariège is 1,295 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
