Vitality score

Vitality score 32.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 76 % of the 18,079 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.

Climate

Humidity measured at LA MURE- RADOME, 10.1 km away at 885 m, over 21 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 93 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 890 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at VALBONNAIS, 5.3 km away at 785 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

34 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 185,250 € — 1,965 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

5 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 135,000 € — 906 € 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.
