Vitality score
Vitality score 17.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 31 % of the 17,979 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 26 days a year at or above 30 °C and 24 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LE HOUGA weather station, 3.5 km away at 141 m; the village itself is at 130 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 11 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LE HOUGA, 3.5 km away at 141 m, over 18 summers. [10]
An average of 879 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LE HOUGA, 3.5 km away at 141 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
22 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,000 € — 980 € 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 Vergoignan'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.
