Vitality score

Vitality score 29/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 97 % of the 10,844 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.

Population 142 (1990) → 103 (2023): -27.5 % over 30 years. [6,1]

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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the VERNEUIL weather station, 12.9 km away at 168 m; the village itself is at 197 m. [11]

An average of 738 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at LES BARILS, 6.3 km away at 203 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

13 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 80,000 € — 667 € per m² of built surface. [12]

The median across Eure is 1,500 € 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.
