Confidence: high.

Better served than 56 % of the 16,841 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.

What property sold for

33 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 63,000 € — 672 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Cher is 956 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
