Vitality score
Vitality score 54.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 85 % of the 11,467 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 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the CAP FERRAT weather station, 1 km away at 138 m; the village itself is at 13 m. [9]
The village sits 125 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 43 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CAP FERRAT, 1 km away at 138 m, over 11 summers. [9]
That station sits 125 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 649 mm of rain a year, spread over 58 days — about 11.2 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CAP FERRAT, 1 km away at 138 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
51 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 2,600,000 € — 13,267 € per m² of built surface. [10]
171 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 620,000 € — 11,437 € per m². [10]
The median across Alpes-Maritimes is 4,054 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]
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.
