Vitality score
Vitality score 34.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 8 % of the 6,361 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.

Weekly market (reported, unverified): Wednesday, Friday matin place Jean Jaurès. [5]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MONTBAZENS weather station, 5.3 km away at 400 m; the village itself is at 255 m. [11]
The village sits 145 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 969 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MONTBAZENS, 5.3 km away at 400 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
290 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 75,000 € — 792 € per m² of built surface. [12]
48 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 54,250 € — 425 € per m². [12]
The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € 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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
