Vitality score

Vitality score 20.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 57 % of the 16,695 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 41 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the DOUZAINS weather station, 2.3 km away at 136 m; the village itself is at 79 m. [9]

The village sits 57 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. [9]

An average of 765 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at DOUZAINS, 2.3 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

26 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 158,445 € — 1,078 € per m² of built surface. [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.
