Vitality score

Vitality score 47.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 72 % of the 11,685 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

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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the PEYREHORADE LER weather station, 14.3 km away at 5 m; the village itself is at 105 m. [9]

The village sits 100 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 12 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at DAX, 17.3 km away at 31 m, over 30 summers. [9]

That station sits 74 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]

An average of 1,291 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 10 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at ESTIBEAUX, 3.7 km away at 86 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Habas'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.
