Vitality score
Vitality score 17.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 50 % of the 16,342 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
15 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 94,200 € — 957 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Corrèze is 1,106 € 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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Ambrugeat's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
