Vitality score

Vitality score 23.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 5 % of the 11,198 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

An average of 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 15 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the SABRAN weather station, 3.7 km away at 204 m; the village itself is at 69 m. ^[11]

The village sits 135 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at CHUSCLAN, 11.2 km away at 30 m, over 26 summers. ^[11]

An average of 830 mm of rain a year, spread over 68 days — about 12.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at SABRAN, 3.7 km away at 204 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

107 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 240,080 € — 2,166 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Gard is 2,338 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[12]

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.
