Vitality score
Vitality score 51.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 58 % of the 6,309 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
An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LAGOR weather station, 5.8 km away at 125 m; the village itself is at 110 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 16 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at PAU-UZEIN, 12.7 km away at 183 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 73 m above 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 1,133 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LAGOR, 5.8 km away at 125 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

Villages like this one

…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 Artix'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.
