Vitality score
Vitality score 11.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 12 % of the 17,792 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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the LOURDES weather station, 3.5 km away at 410 m; the village itself is at 424 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at TARBES-LOURDES-PYRENEES, 12.9 km away at 360 m, over 30 summers. [9]
That station sits 64 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,439 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LOURDES-SERRES, 3.3 km away at 415 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Aspin-en-Lavedan'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.
