Vitality score
Vitality score 59.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 62 % of the 2,489 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.

Trajectory
Population 8,755 (2012) → 9,892 (2023): 13 % over 10 years. [5,1]
Population 4,565 (1990) → 9,892 (2023): 116.7 % over 30 years. [6,1]
Dwellings (2023): 4,456, of which 2.1 % second homes and 8 % vacant. [7]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Saint-Lys): 0 km to the south-east (straight line). [8]

GP (Saint-Lys): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]
Pharmacy (Saint-Lys): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). [8]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the MURET-LHERM weather station, 9.8 km away at 189 m; the village itself is at 213 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at MURET-LHERM, 9.8 km away at 189 m, over 27 summers. [9]
An average of 681 mm of rain a year, spread over 102 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LABASTIDETTE GA, 8.1 km away at 188 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
545 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 258,330 € — 2,520 € per m² of built surface. [10]
188 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 105,570 € — 2,078 € per m². [10]
The median across Haute-Garonne is 2,555 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Saint-Lys'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.
