Vitality score
Vitality score 22.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 51 % of the 17,995 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the DOSNON weather station, 12.4 km away at 115 m; the village itself is at 108 m. [12]
An average of 777 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BRAUX, 10.5 km away at 120 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
20 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 100,000 € — 909 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Aube is 1,324 € 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.
