Vitality score
Vitality score 12.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 45 % of the 11,027 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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the BLAJAN weather station, 4.6 km away at 325 m; the village itself is at 370 m. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at CLARAC, 14.3 km away at 401 m, over 30 summers. [13]
An average of 911 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 7.9 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at BLAJAN, 4.6 km away at 325 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
What property sold for
14 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 141,500 € — 610 € 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.

…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 Nizan-Gesse'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.
