Vitality score
Vitality score 33.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 28 % of the 11,733 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 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the FIRMI weather station, 3.4 km away at 320 m; the village itself is at 280 m. [9]
An average of 950 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at FIRMI, 3.4 km away at 320 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
126 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 80,500 € — 867 € per m² of built surface. [10]
52 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 58,680 € — 568 € per m². [10]
The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
