Vitality score
Vitality score 22.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 68 % of the 16,393 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally

Measured at the GRACAY weather station, 0.6 km away at 108 m; the village itself is at 105 m. [9]
An average of 740 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at GRACAY, 0.6 km away at 108 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
25 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 70,000 € — 600 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Cher is 956 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]
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.
