Vitality score

Vitality score 27.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 17,836 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.

Days at or below 0 °C 47.6

Muggy days a summer 8.4

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 43 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BEGAAR weather station, 15 km away at 19 m; the village itself is at 61 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at RION-DES-LANDES, 15.8 km away at 77 m, over 18 summers. ^[11]

An average of 1,027 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at VILLENAVE, 2.1 km away at 80 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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 Ousse-Suzan'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.
