Vitality score
Vitality score 11.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 33 % of the 11,635 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
Where this sits nationally
An average of 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-GLADIE weather station, 2.8 km away at 73 m; the village itself is at 75 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 16 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at AICIRITS, 9 km away at 75 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 1,300 mm of rain a year, spread over 143 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST-GLADIE, 2.8 km away at 73 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
9 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 135,000 € — 1,287 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Pyrénées-Atlantiques is 2,055 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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.

…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 Espiute'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.
