Vitality score

Vitality score 25.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 17 % of the 13,662 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the GUICHAINVILLE weather station, 16 km away at 147 m; the village itself is at 145 m. [12]

An average of 621 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 5.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at MARCILLY-LA-CAM, 1.3 km away at 140 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

What property sold for

78 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 189,750 € — 1,025 € per m² of built surface. [13]

The median across Eure is 1,500 € 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.
