Vitality score

Vitality score 61.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 99 % of the 18,036 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.

What property sold for

14 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 280,000 € — 2,223 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

8 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 146,375 € — 2,750 € per m². ^[11]

The median across Haute-Corse is 3,016 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[11]

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.
