Vitality score

Vitality score 26/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 52 % of the 17,909 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 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, 4.2 km away at 120 m; the village itself is at 148 m. [10]

An average of 861 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at ETREUX, 4.2 km away at 120 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

31 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 80,000 € — 631 € 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.
