Vitality score

Vitality score 26.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 34 % of the 16,397 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.

Where this sits nationally

Days at or below 0 °C 56.5

Muggy days a summer 5.6

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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CLARAC weather station, 9.1 km away at 401 m; the village itself is at 443 m. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at CLARAC, 9.1 km away at 401 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

An average of 779 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LABARTHE-RIVIER, 7 km away at 394 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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 Sauveterre-de-Comminges'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.
