Vitality score

Vitality score 17.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 90 % of the 4,828 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.

An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the SAUVETERRE-DE-G weather station, 6.8 km away at 75 m; the village itself is at 52 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at ST SULPICE DE POMMIERS, 8.6 km away at 82 m, over 23 summers. [10]

An average of 792 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]

…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 Castelmoron-d'Albret'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.
