Better served than 21 % of the 17,055 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.

Climate

Measured at the BLAJAN weather station, 5.1 km away at 325 m; the village itself is at 389 m. ^[13]

The village sits 64 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 6 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at CLARAC, 14.7 km away at 401 m, over 30 summers. ^[13]

An average of 901 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at ST-MARCET, 5.1 km away at 348 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]

What property sold for

18 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 164,335 € — 742 € per m² of built surface. ^[14]

The median across Haute-Garonne is 2,555 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[14]

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.
