Vitality score
Vitality score 45.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 38 % of the 6,653 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 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BANEINS weather station, 12.8 km away at 242 m; the village itself is at 189 m. [10]
The village sits 53 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
An average of 918 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BAGE, 12.7 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
177 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 227,000 € — 2,065 € per m² of built surface. [11]
64 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 126,398 € — 2,000 € per m². [11]
The median across Ain is 2,288 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.
