Vitality score

Vitality score 19.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 74 % of the 12,827 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

Humidity measured at COULANS, 7.9 km away at 468 m, over 18 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 157 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,483 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 10 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at AMANCEY, 3.5 km away at 600 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

7 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,000 € — 1,357 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Doubs is 1,815 € 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.
