Vitality score
Vitality score 20.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 14 % of the 15,882 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LA COUTURE-BOUS weather station, 14 km away at 134 m; the village itself is at 100 m. [11]
An average of 621 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 5.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MARCILLY-LA-CAM, 10.4 km away at 140 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
55 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 214,400 € — 1,604 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Eure is 1,500 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.
