Vitality score

Vitality score 28.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 17,908 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

Days at or above 30 °C 22.1

Days at or below 0 °C 31.4

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

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. ^[11]

Measured at the LICQ-ATHEREY weather station, 7.7 km away at 288 m; the village itself is at 275 m. ^[11]

An average of 1,367 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at TROIS-VILLES, 6.2 km away at 216 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

23 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 120,000 € — 1,333 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Pyrénées-Atlantiques is 2,055 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.
