Vitality score

Vitality score 55.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 86 % of the 10,166 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.

Food shop (Arthez-de-Béarn): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). ^[8]

GP (Arthez-de-Béarn): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 29.9

Days at or below 0 °C 37

Muggy days a summer 11.2▸

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 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the POMPS weather station, 6.5 km away at 130 m; the village itself is at 197 m. ^[10]

The village sits 67 m above 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 11 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at ORTHEZ, 11.9 km away at 96 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 101 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,148 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ARGAGNON, 5.5 km away at 103 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Arthez-de-Béarn'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.
