Vitality score

Vitality score 42.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 19 % of the 5,115 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 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 25 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the TOULOUSE-BLAGNAC weather station, 12 km away at 151 m; the village itself is at 171 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at TOULOUSE-BLAGNAC, 12 km away at 151 m, over 30 summers. [9]

An average of 692 mm of rain a year, spread over 102 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at BALMA, 4.3 km away at 139 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

138 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 383,150 € — 3,403 € per m² of built surface. [10]

153 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 153,400 € — 2,825 € per m². [10]

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

…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 Montrabé'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.
