Vitality score

Vitality score 49.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 86 % of the 14,860 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 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the REVENTIN weather station, 15.7 km away at 295 m; the village itself is at 345 m. ^[11]

The village sits 50 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °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 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at REVENTIN, 15.7 km away at 295 m, over 21 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 50 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,013 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at POMMIER-DE-BEAUREPAIRE, 10.2 km away at 480 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

53 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 264,810 € — 2,273 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Isère is 2,542 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
