Vitality score
Vitality score 46.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 88 % of the 16,844 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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the AURELLE-VERLAC_SAPC weather station, 12.5 km away at 1,076 m; the village itself is at 546 m. [10]
The village sits 530 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. [10]
An average of 1,064 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 8.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST SATURNIN, 7.6 km away at 640 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
57 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 116,000 € — 1,154 € per m² of built surface. [11]
9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 85,000 € — 648 € per m². [11]
The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]
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.
