Vitality score

Vitality score 24.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 43 % of the 17,863 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.

Climate

An average of 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the ALBI-MAN weather station, 9.6 km away at 162 m; the village itself is at 333 m. ^[12]

The village sits 171 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 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ALBI, 12.7 km away at 172 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 161 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 788 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ALBI-MAN, 9.6 km away at 162 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

19 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 170,000 € — 1,245 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Tarn is 1,319 € 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.
