Vitality score
Vitality score 12.5/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 30 % of the 14,851 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 80 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LOGES-MARGUERON weather station, 10.2 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 217 m. [11]
The village sits 67 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 839 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CUSSANGY, 4.5 km away at 220 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
18 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 70,000 € — 804 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Aube is 1,324 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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.
