Vitality score

Vitality score 23.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 49 % of the 18,016 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

An average of 46 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the STE-ANNE weather station, 3.5 km away at 132 m; the village itself is at 126 m. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at MAUROUX, 17 km away at 201 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 75 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 681 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at STE-ANNE, 3.5 km away at 132 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

20 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 185,500 € — 1,155 € 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.
