Vitality score

Vitality score 23.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 41 % of the 17,934 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.

Where this sits nationally

An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the SURGERES weather station, 6.1 km away at 25 m; the village itself is at 30 m. [12]

An average of 813 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
