Vitality score

Vitality score 37.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 9 % of the 5,577 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 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [14]

Measured at the SAINT JULIEN SUR REYSSOUZE weather station, 15.8 km away at 189 m; the village itself is at 211 m. [14]

An average of 918 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [14]

Rainfall measured at BAGE, 1.7 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [14]

What property sold for

194 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 215,000 € — 1,900 € per m² of built surface. [15]

11 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 152,500 € — 1,484 € per m². [15]

The median across Ain is 2,288 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [15]

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.
