Vitality score

Vitality score 40.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 61 % of the 13,987 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

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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the TANUS weather station, 9.7 km away at 537 m; the village itself is at 400 m. [10]

The village sits 137 m below 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. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at TANUS, 9.7 km away at 537 m, over 23 summers. [10]

That station sits 137 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 858 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at TANUS, 9.7 km away at 537 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

98 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 140,000 € — 893 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Tarn is 1,319 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]

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.

Uncertainties

The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Mirandol-Bourgnounac'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.
