Vitality score

Vitality score 28.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 17,750 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

Measured at the LEVIER_SAPC weather station, 8 km away at 713 m; the village itself is at 707 m. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at COULANS, 13.4 km away at 468 m, over 18 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 239 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 1,618 mm of rain a year, spread over 151 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at VILLENEUVE-D'AMONT, 4.2 km away at 663 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

12 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 165,750 € — 1,446 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

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