Vitality score
Vitality score 52.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 85 % of the 13,305 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.

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 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CAP SAGRO weather station, 5.2 km away at 111 m; the village itself is at 327 m. [12]
The village sits 216 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. [12]
An average of 737 mm of rain a year, spread over 70 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at CAP SAGRO, 5.2 km away at 111 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
