Vitality score

Vitality score 2.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 13 % of the 428 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

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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 112 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]

Measured at the ST-PAUL-D'OUEIL weather station, 5.4 km away at 1,115 m; the village itself is at 1,371 m. [13]

The village sits 256 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 0 days a summer. [13]

Humidity measured at LUCHON, 10.5 km away at 618 m, over 30 summers. [13]

That station sits 753 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 1,049 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [13]

Rainfall measured at ST-PAUL-D'OUEIL, 5.4 km away at 1,115 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

…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 Bourg-d'Oueil'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.
