Vitality score

Vitality score 64.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 93 % of the 6,146 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.

Food shop (Le Pont-de-Beauvoisin): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 79 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the PONT-DE-BEAUVOISIN weather station, 0.7 km away at 284 m; the village itself is at 252 m. [12]

An average of 1,156 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 9.7 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at PONT-DE-BEAUVOISIN, 0.7 km away at 284 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

What property sold for

182 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 216,850 € — 2,051 € per m² of built surface. [13]

164 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 118,875 € — 1,787 € per m². [13]

The median across Isère is 2,542 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]

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.
