Vitality score
Vitality score 61.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 81 % of the 4,012 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 14 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the BIARRITZ-PAYS-BASQUE weather station, 6.6 km away at 71 m; the village itself is at 35 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 16 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at BIARRITZ-PAYS-BASQUE, 6.6 km away at 71 m, over 30 summers. [9]
An average of 1,468 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BIARRITZ-PAYS-BASQUE, 6.6 km away at 71 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
128 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 468,250 € — 2,927 € per m² of built surface. [10]
192 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 218,750 € — 3,806 € per m². [10]
The median across Pyrénées-Atlantiques is 2,055 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]
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 Saint-Pierre-d'Irube'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.
