Vitality score

Vitality score 41.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 62 % of the 13,575 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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 27 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the SAINT-MARTIN-CURTO weather station, 11.5 km away at 144 m; the village itself is at 139 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at MARMANDE, 14.4 km away at 30 m, over 19 summers. [9]

That station sits 109 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 750 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at BOUGLON, 8.3 km away at 136 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

79 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 152,000 € — 1,114 € per m² of built surface. [10]

6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 122,000 € — 725 € per m². [10]

The median across Lot-et-Garonne is 1,182 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.

…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 Cocumont'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.
