Vitality score

Vitality score 61.3/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 79 % of the 3,623 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

Market day: unknown — nothing found in the datasets or on the commune website.

Trajectory

1968: 414 2023: 6,585 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 5,591 (2012) → 6,585 (2023): 17.8 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 3,286 (1990) → 6,585 (2023): 100.4 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 2,883, of which 1.1 % second homes and 1.9 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmPharmacy — 0.6 km E (Furiani)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 0.6 km E Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Furiani): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Furiani): 0.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

GP (Furiani): 0.2 km to the south-east (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Furiani): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [8]

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 47 days a year at or above 30 °C and 1 day at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the OLETTA weather station, 7.6 km away at 130 m; the village itself is at 27 m. [9]

The village sits 103 m below 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. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 21 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at OLETTA, 7.6 km away at 130 m, over 11 summers. [9]

That station sits 103 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 718 mm of rain a year, spread over 67 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at BASTIA-FANGO, 5.4 km away at 26 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

84 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 391,500 € — 3,529 € per m² of built surface. [10]

118 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 172,500 € — 3,062 € per m². [10]

The median across Haute-Corse is 3,016 € 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.

…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 Furiani'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.
