Vitality score
Vitality score 45.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 71 % of the 13,188 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.

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Montmorot): 3.5 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Courlaoux): 0.3 km to the west (straight line). [9]
GP (Messia-sur-Sorne): 3.7 km to the east (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Messia-sur-Sorne): 4.5 km to the east (straight line). [10]
Primary school (Courlaoux): 0.4 km to the south (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 45 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LONS LE SAUNIER weather station, 4.8 km away at 298 m; the village itself is at 228 m. [11]
The village sits 70 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °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 3 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LONS LE SAUNIER, 4.8 km away at 298 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 70 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,141 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LONS LE SAUNIER, 4.8 km away at 298 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
39 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 190,000 € — 1,362 € per m² of built surface. [12]
5 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 153,000 € — 1,826 € per m². [12]
The median across Jura is 1,428 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.

…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 Courlaoux'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.
