Vitality score
Vitality score 57.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 85 % of the 7,334 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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ETREUX weather station, 17.2 km away at 120 m; the village itself is at 122 m. [10]
An average of 740 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ORIGNY-STE-BENO, 12.9 km away at 75 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
147 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 80,000 € — 785 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Aisne is 1,096 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
