Vitality score

Vitality score 23.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 24 % of the 16,292 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.

Climate

An average of 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 66 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the TULLE weather station, 11.8 km away at 235 m; the village itself is at 252 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at BRIVE, 12.7 km away at 115 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 137 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,149 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at BEYNAT, 8.5 km away at 373 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

45 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 154,000 € — 1,263 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

5 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 96,000 € — 960 € per m². ^[13]

The median across Corrèze is 1,106 € per m², so this commune sits above it. ^[13]

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.
