Vitality score

Vitality score 47.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 74 % of the 13,007 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.

Trajectory

1968: 1,546 2023: 1,245 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 1,381 (2012) → 1,245 (2023): -9.8 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 1,390 (1990) → 1,245 (2023): -10.4 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 2,135, of which 64.4 % second homes and 5.1 % vacant. [7]

In the commune Food shop, Primary school, GP Bakery — 4.3 km NPharmacy — 5.6 km NW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Gerde): 4.3 km to the north (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Campan): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]

GP (Campan): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [9]

Pharmacy (Bagnères-de-Bigorre): 5.6 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]

Primary school (Campan): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). [9]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the BAGNERES SERRES weather station, 6.2 km away at 548 m; the village itself is at 658 m. [11]

The village sits 110 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]

An average of 1,354 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 9.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at BAGNERES SERRES, 6.2 km away at 548 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

195 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 167,850 € — 1,741 € per m² of built surface. [12]

86 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 95,000 € — 2,013 € per m². [12]

The median across Hautes-Pyrénées is 1,521 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
