Vitality score

Vitality score 39.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 12 % of the 5,426 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.

Trajectory

1968: 1,798 peak 1990: 4,479 2023: 4,191 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 4,479 (1990) → 4,191 (2023): -6.4 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmBakery — 0.5 km W (Pont-du-Casse)
In the commune Food shop, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Bakery — 0.5 km W Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Pont-du-Casse): 0.5 km to the west (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Pont-du-Casse): 0.3 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

GP (Pont-du-Casse): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]

Pharmacy (Pont-du-Casse): 0.3 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Bajamont): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [9]

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 46 days a year at or above 30 °C and 23 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the LAROQUE-TIMBAUT weather station, 8.4 km away at 186 m; the village itself is at 67 m. [10]

The village sits 119 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. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at AGEN-LA GARENNE, 9.6 km away at 58 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 816 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at LAROQUE-TIMBAUT, 8.4 km away at 186 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

284 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 157,120 € — 1,533 € per m² of built surface. [11]

26 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 76,750 € — 1,775 € per m². [11]

The median across Lot-et-Garonne is 1,182 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]

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 Pont-du-Casse'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.
