Vitality score

Vitality score 29.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 74 % of the 17,943 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

An average of 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the BLAJAN weather station, 15.2 km away at 325 m; the village itself is at 347 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at CLARAC, 15.5 km away at 401 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 54 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 901 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ST-MARCET, 5.3 km away at 348 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

17 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 172,000 € — 972 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Haute-Garonne is 2,555 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]

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.
