Vitality score

Vitality score 34.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 84 % of the 17,939 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 37.7

Days at or below 0 °C 30.5

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 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the LECTOURE weather station, 9.2 km away at 179 m; the village itself is at 166 m. ^[10]

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

Humidity measured at CAUSSENS, 18.2 km away at 184 m, over 14 summers. ^[10]

An average of 688 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at MIRADOUX, 8.9 km away at 198 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

13 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 240,000 € — 1,958 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

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