Vitality score
Vitality score 48.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 33 % of the 4,189 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 62 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the ST MAXIMIN LA STE BAUME weather station, 9.5 km away at 294 m; the village itself is at 297 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at ST MAXIMIN LA STE BAUME, 9.5 km away at 294 m, over 19 summers. [9]
An average of 737 mm of rain a year, spread over 68 days — about 10.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ST MAXIMIN LA STE BAUME, 9.5 km away at 294 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
267 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 418,650 € — 2,568 € per m² of built surface. [10]
74 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 190,500 € — 2,546 € per m². [10]
The median across Var is 3,286 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]
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 Pourrières'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.
