Vitality score
Vitality score 26.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 45 % of the 17,448 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.

…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 Lagraulet-du-Gers'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.
