Vitality score
Vitality score 34.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 69 % of the 17,343 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
Where this sits nationally
An average of 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 40 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SEGREVILLE weather station, 19.1 km away at 212 m; the village itself is at 289 m. [10]
The village sits 77 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. [10]
An average of 727 mm of rain a year, spread over 100 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MONTESQUIEU-LAURAGAIS, 8.7 km away at 190 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
28 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 282,500 € — 1,980 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Haute-Garonne is 2,555 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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.
