Vitality score
Vitality score 66.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 98 % of the 12,699 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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the LEON weather station, 5.5 km away at 21 m; the village itself is at 15 m. [9]
An average of 1,195 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 8.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LEON, 5.5 km away at 21 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
265 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 340,000 € — 5,025 € per m² of built surface. [10]
287 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 137,120 € — 4,174 € per m². [10]
The median across Landes is 2,237 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]
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.
