Vitality score

Vitality score 17.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 75 % of the 10,643 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

Days at or above 30 °C 32.9

Days at or below 0 °C 36.1

Muggy days a summer 14.4▸

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the RAMOUZENS weather station, 1.6 km away at 164 m; the village itself is at 169 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 14 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at EAUZE, 6.4 km away at 165 m, over 12 summers. ^[11]

An average of 703 mm of rain a year, spread over 113 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at RAMOUZENS, 1.6 km away at 164 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

11 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 130,000 € — 1,096 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Gers is 1,285 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Noulens'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.
