Historically, and because of its geographical location the village has always lived in the Toulouse orbit, many capitouls and councilors of the Toulouse parliament, under the Ancien Regime, were Lords of Vigoulet or holders of domains in the communal territory. The demographic boom dates from the end of the 1960s, until then the population was small and the activity exclusively agricultural, mainly cereals.

Today, the dominant feature of Vigoulet-Auzil is its residential character, in a preserved environment that is still very sparsely populated, while benefiting from easy communication to the city center and the Toulouse ring road.

The village draw its notoriety from this residential quality, from the hillside landscapes and horse-riding activities linked to the presence of the two equestrian centers and of a pony club. Environmental protection is today a major issue for the village, in the context of the pressure exerted by the demographic growth of the Toulouse conurbation.
