Confidence: high.

Better served than 87 % of the 17,802 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 at the LARAGNE MONTEGLIN weather station, 7.9 km away at 565 m; the village itself is at 686 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at LARAGNE MONTEGLIN, 7.9 km away at 565 m, over 29 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 121 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 878 mm of rain a year, spread over 86 days — about 10.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at SERRES, 7.5 km away at 652 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

22 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 144,250 € — 1,575 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Hautes-Alpes is 2,500 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]

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.
