Vitality score
Vitality score 14.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 63 % of the 8,936 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LICQ-ATHEREY weather station, 4.6 km away at 288 m; the village itself is at 308 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 20 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at IRATY ORGAMBIDE, 15.9 km away at 1,427 m, over 19 summers. [10]
That station sits 1,119 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 1,493 mm of rain a year, spread over 151 days — about 9.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LICQ-ATHEREY, 4.6 km away at 288 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Haux'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.
