Vitality score

Vitality score 52.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 81 % of the 11,104 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.

Food shop (L'Isle-en-Dodon): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). [8]

Climate

No climate figures: the nearest weather station is more than 20 km away, too far to describe this commune.

What property sold for

188 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 120,000 € — 883 € per m² of built surface. [10]

21 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 69,000 € — 491 € per m². [10]

The median across Haute-Garonne is 2,555 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
