Vitality score
Vitality score 50.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 12,181 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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LISIEUX_SAPC weather station, 10 km away at 62 m; the village itself is at 158 m. [10]
The village sits 96 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
An average of 914 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MAROLLES, 6.8 km away at 155 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
122 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 202,500 € — 1,100 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Calvados is 2,026 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
