Vitality score
Vitality score 17.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 55 % of the 15,549 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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MAUMUSSON weather station, 9 km away at 164 m; the village itself is at 131 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 12 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at PEYRUSSE-GRANDE, 16.7 km away at 254 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 123 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 934 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at SARRAGACHIES, 8.3 km away at 110 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
8 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 124,000 € — 588 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Gers is 1,285 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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 Galiax'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.
