Vitality score

Vitality score 52.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 24 % of the 2,033 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 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the MENTON weather station, 3.3 km away at 216 m; the village itself is at 69 m. [10]

The village sits 147 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 39 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at MENTON, 3.3 km away at 216 m, over 24 summers. [10]

That station sits 147 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 780 mm of rain a year, spread over 63 days — about 12.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at MENTON, 3.3 km away at 216 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

259 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 1,100,000 € — 7,174 € per m² of built surface. [11]

2,315 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 270,000 € — 5,790 € per m². [11]

The median across Alpes-Maritimes is 4,054 € 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.

Uncertainties

The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
