Vitality score

Vitality score 55.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 96 % of the 17,209 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 27.9

Days at or below 0 °C 29.3

Muggy days a summer 11.1▸

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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CAUSSENS weather station, 7.1 km away at 184 m; the village itself is at 172 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 11 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at CAUSSENS, 7.1 km away at 184 m, over 14 summers. ^[10]

An average of 767 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ST-PUY, 0.8 km away at 151 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

59 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 151,470 € — 1,154 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Gers is 1,285 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[11]

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.

…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 Saint-Puy'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.
