Vitality score
Vitality score 47.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 90 % of the 16,816 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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the TAILLEFONTAINE weather station, 12.8 km away at 140 m; the village itself is at 62 m. [10]
The village sits 78 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
An average of 730 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at RESSONS LE LONG, 3 km away at 133 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
43 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,000 € — 1,409 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Aisne is 1,096 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
