Vitality score
Vitality score 53.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 91 % of the 14,634 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.

Food shop (Cassagnes-Bégonhès): 1.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [11]
GP (Cassagnes-Bégonhès): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [11]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the REQUISTA COMBEC weather station, 10.8 km away at 600 m; the village itself is at 538 m. [13]
The village sits 62 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. [13]
An average of 977 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at ARVIEU, 7.2 km away at 733 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
What property sold for
76 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 85,000 € — 932 € per m² of built surface. [14]
The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [14]
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.
