Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 66 % of the 18,020 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.

Climate

An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the MEYMAC weather station, 6.7 km away at 670 m; the village itself is at 619 m. ^[13]

The village sits 51 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at USSEL-LES PLAINES, 11.2 km away at 670 m, over 11 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 51 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 1,284 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at MEYMAC, 6.7 km away at 670 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]

What property sold for

32 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 114,750 € — 882 € per m² of built surface. ^[14]

The median across Corrèze is 1,106 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[14]

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.
