Vitality score

Vitality score 26.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 76 % of the 17,108 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 at the SENEZERGUES weather station, 11.7 km away at 530 m; the village itself is at 622 m. ^[11]

The village sits 92 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at AURILLAC, 15.3 km away at 632 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

An average of 1,270 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 9.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LABROUSSE, 8.5 km away at 800 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

18 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 142,000 € — 1,163 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Cantal is 1,059 € 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.
