Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 19 % of the 16,430 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.

Climate

An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BENEJACQ weather station, 1.1 km away at 255 m; the village itself is at 249 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 14 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at GER, 12 km away at 410 m, over 18 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 161 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,230 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BENEJACQ, 1.1 km away at 255 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

27 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 246,000 € — 2,022 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Pyrénées-Atlantiques is 2,055 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.
