Vitality score
Vitality score 44.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 40 % of the 7,076 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
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. [10]
Measured at the BEGAAR weather station, 8.7 km away at 19 m; the village itself is at 23 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at RION-DES-LANDES, 14.5 km away at 77 m, over 18 summers. [10]
That station sits 54 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,189 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 8.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PONTONX, 2.4 km away at 12 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
Uncertainties
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 Pontonx-sur-l'Adour'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.
