Vitality score

Vitality score 24.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 52 % of the 18,020 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.

Climate

An average of 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the AUCH weather station, 10.5 km away at 122 m; the village itself is at 186 m. ^[12]

The village sits 64 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at AUCH, 10.5 km away at 122 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 64 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 680 mm of rain a year, spread over 104 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at AUCH, 10.5 km away at 122 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

29 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 213,300 € — 1,020 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Gers is 1,285 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
