Vitality score

Vitality score 33.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 78 % of the 18,057 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

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 72 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the GUERET-ST LAURENT weather station, 11 km away at 365 m; the village itself is at 421 m. [12]

The village sits 56 m above 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. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at GUERET-ST LAURENT, 11 km away at 365 m, over 13 summers. [12]

That station sits 56 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 914 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at ROCHES-BOURSOLLES, 7.1 km away at 398 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

What property sold for

37 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 47,000 € — 625 € per m² of built surface. [13]

The median across Creuse is 707 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.

…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 Ladapeyre'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.
