Vitality score

Vitality score 17.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 10 % of the 16,747 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.

No climate figures: the nearest weather station is more than 20 km away, too far to describe this commune.

What property sold for

38 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 213,000 € — 1,845 € per m² of built surface. [10]

The median across Eure is 1,500 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]

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.
