Vitality score

Vitality score 16.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 82 % of the 6,452 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

1968: 94 2023: 62 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 67 (2012) → 62 (2023): -7.5 % over 10 years. ^[5,1]

Population 55 (1990) → 62 (2023): 12.7 % over 30 years. ^[6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 88, of which 62.5 % second homes and 1.1 % vacant. ^[7]

Which way the everyday services lie

Primary school — 4.6 km NEFood shop — 5.5 km EGP — 8.1 km NWBakery — 8.6 km SPharmacy — 9.5 km E Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Tuchan): 8.6 km to the south (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 32.3

Days at or below 0 °C 30.6

Muggy days a summer 7.1

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the DURBAN-CORBIERES weather station, 9.3 km away at 120 m; the village itself is at 333 m. ^[13]

The village sits 213 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at DURBAN-CORBIERES, 9.3 km away at 120 m, over 28 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 213 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 836 mm of rain a year, spread over 85 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at PALAIRAC, 4.1 km away at 364 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Quintillan'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.
