Vitality score

Vitality score 16/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 60 % of the 11,932 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.

Market and village life

Trajectory

1968: 148 2023: 117 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 108 (2012) → 117 (2023): 8.3 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 95 (1990) → 117 (2023): 23.2 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 178, of which 57.9 % second homes and 2.2 % vacant. [7]

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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 21 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the LEVIE weather station, 3.2 km away at 571 m; the village itself is at 550 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at CARBINI-COL DE MELA, 3.3 km away at 1,105 m, over 14 summers. [9]

That station sits 555 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]

An average of 1,134 mm of rain a year, spread over 94 days — about 12.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at LEVIE, 3.2 km away at 571 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

5 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 110,000 € — 1,528 € per m² of built surface. [10]

5 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 65,000 € — 1,413 € per m². [10]

The median across Corse-du-Sud is 3,889 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Carbini's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
