Vitality score
Vitality score 32.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 18,022 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.

Measured at the LABASTIDE-CLAIR weather station, 7.2 km away at 23 m; the village itself is at 49 m. [11]
An average of 1,394 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LABASTIDE-CLAIR, 7.2 km away at 23 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
8 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 316,000 € — 2,716 € per m² of built surface. [12]
7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 218,720 € — 2,288 € per m². [12]
The median across Pyrénées-Atlantiques is 2,055 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]
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.
