Confidence: high.

Better served than 44 % of the 15,524 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ST JULIEN - SA, 7.8 km away at 361 m, over 29 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 172 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,446 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ARINTHOD, 7.2 km away at 445 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

19 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 120,000 € — 1,112 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Jura is 1,428 € 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.
