Vitality score
Vitality score 38.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 86 % of the 18,070 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 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 14 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MAUVEZIN-SUR-GUPIE weather station, 8.5 km away at 95 m; the village itself is at 18 m. [11]
The village sits 77 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at MAUVEZIN-SUR-GUPIE, 8.5 km away at 95 m, over 11 summers. [11]
That station sits 77 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 769 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MAUVEZIN-SUR-GUPIE, 8.5 km away at 95 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
25 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 72,398 € — 833 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Lot-et-Garonne is 1,182 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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 Couthures-sur-Garonne'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.
