Vitality score

Vitality score 32.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 17 % of the 9,615 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

An average of 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 27 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the PAU-(CIMETIERE) weather station, 8.5 km away at 202 m; the village itself is at 303 m. ^[11]

The village sits 101 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at PAU-UZEIN, 9.5 km away at 183 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 120 m below 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 1,168 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at PAU LILAS, 6 km away at 219 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
