Vitality score

Vitality score 31.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 18,018 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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 80 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the AMANCEY weather station, 5.6 km away at 600 m; the village itself is at 636 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at COULANS, 10 km away at 468 m, over 18 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 168 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,483 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 10 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at AMANCEY, 5.6 km away at 600 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

8 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 158,475 € — 1,827 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Doubs is 1,815 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[12]

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.
