Vitality score

Vitality score 22.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 98 % of the 2,335 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Food shop Primary school — 0.6 km SEGP — 0.7 km SWBakery — 3.4 km WPharmacy — 5.7 km SE 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 (Jurvielle): 3.4 km to the west (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Billière): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Garin): 0.7 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[10]

Pharmacy (Bagnères-de-Luchon): 5.7 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[11]

Primary school (Cazeaux-de-Larboust): 0.6 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[12]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 8.5

Days at or below 0 °C 84.7

Muggy days a summer 0.1

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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 85 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the ST-PAUL-D'OUEIL weather station, 2.7 km away at 1,115 m; the village itself is at 1,101 m. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at LUCHON, 6.1 km away at 618 m, over 30 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 483 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 1,026 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 8.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at OO, 2.6 km away at 969 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]

What property sold for

No price figures: fewer than five comparable sales were registered here between 2021 and 2025. A median of two sales is not a median. ^[14]

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Billière'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.
