Vitality score

Vitality score 13.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 52 % of the 9,442 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 33.7

Days at or below 0 °C 35.4

Muggy days a summer 6.9

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 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[14]

Measured at the SADEILLAN weather station, 6.3 km away at 263 m; the village itself is at 291 m. ^[14]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. ^[14]

Humidity measured at MASSEUBE, 14.1 km away at 217 m, over 10 summers. ^[14]

That station sits 74 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[14]

An average of 892 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[14]

Rainfall measured at SADEILLAN, 6.3 km away at 263 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[14]

Uncertainties

The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. ^[5]

…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 Sainte-Aurence-Cazaux'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.
