Vitality score
Vitality score 6.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 6 % of the 10,940 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
An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the SADEILLAN weather station, 5.1 km away at 263 m; the village itself is at 257 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 9 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at MASSEUBE, 15 km away at 217 m, over 10 summers. [12]
An average of 892 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at SADEILLAN, 5.1 km away at 263 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
12 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 149,000 € — 1,167 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Gers is 1,285 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [13]
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 Barcugnan'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.
