Vitality score
Vitality score 37.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 18 % of the 7,017 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
39 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 375,000 € — 3,627 € per m² of built surface. [9]
131 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 170,000 € — 3,143 € per m². [9]
The median across Haute-Corse is 3,016 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [9]
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.
