Vitality score
Vitality score 8.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 24 % of the 5,492 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the OLORON-STE-MARI weather station, 17 km away at 235 m; the village itself is at 168 m. [10]
The village sits 67 m below 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at OLORON, 18.4 km away at 295 m, over 18 summers. [10]
That station sits 127 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 1,258 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at NAVARRENX, 8.1 km away at 135 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
No price figures: fewer than five comparable sales were registered here between 2021 and 2025. A median of two sales is not a median. [11]
Uncertainties
No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 L'Hôpital-Saint-Blaise'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.
