Vitality score
Vitality score 20.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 16,281 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the TOURNAY weather station, 7.1 km away at 267 m; the village itself is at 325 m. [12]
The village sits 58 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at TARBES-LOURDES-PYRENEES, 14.2 km away at 360 m, over 30 summers. [12]
An average of 1,046 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 8.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at TOURNAY, 7.1 km away at 267 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
6 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 222,125 € — 1,639 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Hautes-Pyrénées is 1,521 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [13]
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 Lespouey'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.
