Vitality score
Vitality score 25.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 67 % of the 17,765 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the BOURRAN-INRAE weather station, 5.3 km away at 55 m; the village itself is at 94 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at BOURRAN-INRAE, 5.3 km away at 55 m, over 22 summers. [12]
An average of 689 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BOURRAN-INRAE, 5.3 km away at 55 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
19 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 151,712 € — 1,049 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Lot-et-Garonne is 1,182 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]
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 Saint-Sardos'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.
