Vitality score
Vitality score 52.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 92 % of the 15,410 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.

Trajectory
Population 525 (2012) → 835 (2023): 59 % over 10 years. [5,1]
Population 331 (1990) → 835 (2023): 152.3 % over 30 years. [6,1]
Dwellings (2023): 1,271, of which 70.3 % second homes and 0.5 % vacant. [7]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Monticello): 7.4 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Speloncato): 4.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Ville-di-Paraso): 3.5 km to the south-west (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (L'Île-Rousse): 8.4 km to the north-west (straight line). [11]
Primary school (Belgodère): 0.4 km to the south (straight line). [12]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 1 day at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the ILE ROUSSE weather station, 9.4 km away at 140 m; the village itself is at 296 m. [13]
The village sits 156 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.13 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 19 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at ILE ROUSSE, 9.4 km away at 140 m, over 30 summers. [13]
That station sits 156 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 563 mm of rain a year, spread over 67 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at BELGODERE-GEND, 0.4 km away at 286 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
What property sold for
71 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 157,000 € — 3,542 € per m² of built surface. [14]
63 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 187,500 € — 3,811 € per m². [14]
The median across Haute-Corse is 3,016 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [14]
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 Belgodère'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.
