Vitality score
Vitality score 41.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 16,775 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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the FLAVIN weather station, 9.9 km away at 657 m; the village itself is at 609 m. [12]
An average of 977 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ARVIEU, 9.4 km away at 733 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
37 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 184,000 € — 1,562 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [13]
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.
