Vitality score

Vitality score 65.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).

Better served than 97 % of the 8,865 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.

An average of 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 23 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the SALLES-D'ARMAGN weather station, 6.5 km away at 133 m; the village itself is at 106 m. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 11 days a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at LE HOUGA, 11.6 km away at 141 m, over 18 summers. [12]

An average of 840 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [12]

…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 Nogaro'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.
