Vitality score
Vitality score 48.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 92 % of the 17,408 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.

Trajectory
Population 497 (2012) → 564 (2023): 13.5 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 260 (1990) → 564 (2023): 116.9 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 400, of which 31.3 % second homes and 3 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Coursegoules): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Gréolières): 7.2 km to the west (straight line). [10]
GP (Coursegoules): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Vence): 9.5 km to the south-east (straight line). [11]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the COURSEGOULES_SAPC weather station, 0.7 km away at 985 m; the village itself is at 1,018 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at BOUYON, 7 km away at 723 m, over 10 summers. [12]
That station sits 295 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 1,220 mm of rain a year, spread over 77 days — about 15.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at COURSEGOULES_SAPC, 0.7 km away at 985 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
46 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 218,500 € — 2,813 € per m² of built surface. [13]
6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 117,750 € — 1,402 € per m². [13]
The median across Alpes-Maritimes is 4,054 € 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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Coursegoules's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
