Vitality score

Vitality score 21/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 48 % of the 17,890 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

An average of 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the LACAPELLE-BIRON weather station, 6.9 km away at 235 m; the village itself is at 147 m. ^[13]

The village sits 88 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at LACAPELLE-BIRON, 6.9 km away at 235 m, over 20 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 88 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 853 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at LACAPELLE-BIRON, 6.9 km away at 235 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]

What property sold for

17 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 175,300 € — 981 € per m² of built surface. ^[14]

The median across Lot-et-Garonne is 1,182 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[14]

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.
