Vitality score
Vitality score 49.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 83 % of the 14,333 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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LABASTIDE-CLAIR weather station, 0.5 km away at 23 m; the village itself is at 32 m. [10]
An average of 1,394 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LABASTIDE-CLAIR, 0.5 km away at 23 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
37 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 365,000 € — 2,920 € per m² of built surface. [11]
9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 256,500 € — 1,789 € per m². [11]
The median across Pyrénées-Atlantiques is 2,055 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
