Vitality score

Vitality score 23.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 71 % of the 16,488 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

An average of 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the SEGREVILLE weather station, 10.8 km away at 212 m; the village itself is at 235 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at AUZEVILLE-TOLOSANE-INRAE, 18.8 km away at 150 m, over 22 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 85 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 695 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LANTA, 6.3 km away at 212 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

12 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 290,000 € — 1,534 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Haute-Garonne is 2,555 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.
