Vitality score

Vitality score 38.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 57 % of the 14,057 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

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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 73 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the LA COTE ST ANDRE weather station, 17.9 km away at 346 m; the village itself is at 404 m. [12]

The village sits 58 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. [12]

An average of 908 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 8.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at BEAUREPAIRE, 3.8 km away at 288 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

What property sold for

49 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 195,000 € — 1,500 € per m² of built surface. [13]

5 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 179,000 € — 1,629 € 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.

Uncertainties

The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
