Vitality score
Vitality score 54.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 5,535 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 57 days a year at or above 30 °C and 13 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the NIMES-GARONS weather station, 3.7 km away at 94 m; the village itself is at 28 m. [9]
The village sits 66 m below 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 9 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at NIMES-GARONS, 3.7 km away at 94 m, over 30 summers. [9]
That station sits 66 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 678 mm of rain a year, spread over 61 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at NIMES-GARONS, 3.7 km away at 94 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
181 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 262,500 € — 2,647 € per m² of built surface. [10]
26 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 176,500 € — 2,390 € per m². [10]
The median across Gard is 2,338 € 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.

…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 Caissargues'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.
