Vitality score

Vitality score 55.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 62 % of the 3,827 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.

Market and village life

A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [5]

Trajectory

1968: 2,148 2023: 6,213 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 5,106 (2012) → 6,213 (2023): 21.7 % over 10 years. [6,1]

Population 5,385 (1990) → 6,213 (2023): 15.4 % over 30 years. [7,1]

Dwellings (2023): 2,790, of which 0.9 % second homes and 6.7 % vacant. [8]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmGP — 0.6 km SE (Pont-Évêque)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 0.6 km SE Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Pont-Évêque): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [9]

Food shop (Pont-Évêque): 0.4 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

GP (Pont-Évêque): 0.6 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

Pharmacy (Pont-Évêque): 0.4 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Pont-Évêque): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [9]

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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the LUZINAY weather station, 8.2 km away at 310 m; the village itself is at 203 m. [10]

The village sits 107 m below 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. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at REVENTIN, 9.8 km away at 295 m, over 21 summers. [10]

That station sits 92 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 915 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at LUZINAY, 8.2 km away at 310 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

136 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 288,100 € — 2,931 € per m² of built surface. [11]

214 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 134,850 € — 2,000 € per m². [11]

The median across Isère is 2,542 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]

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.

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Pont-Évêque's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
