Vitality score

Vitality score 11.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 9 % of the 18,024 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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 80 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the MEDIERE weather station, 5.1 km away at 302 m; the village itself is at 362 m. [10]

The village sits 60 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at MONTBELIARD, 15.3 km away at 318 m, over 20 summers. [10]

An average of 1,114 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at MEDIERE, 5.1 km away at 302 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

13 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 173,000 € — 927 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Doubs is 1,815 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]

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 Onans'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.
