Vitality score
Vitality score 14.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 32 % of the 16,520 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.

An average of 942 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BASTIDE SOLAGES, 4.4 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
23 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 123,200 € — 1,300 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.
