Vitality score

Vitality score 47.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 42 % of the 6,008 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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the PEYREHORADE LER weather station, 0.4 km away at 5 m; the village itself is at 4 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 21 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at ST M HINX STNA-INRAE, 16 km away at 37 m, over 29 summers. [10]

An average of 1,324 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 9.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at PEYREHORADE LER, 0.4 km away at 5 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

Uncertainties

sources disagree on Restaurant

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Peyrehorade'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.
