Vitality score

Vitality score 31.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 29 % of the 13,217 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

Days at or above 30 °C 19.2

Days at or below 0 °C 55.9

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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CHEVERNY weather station, 8.2 km away at 99 m; the village itself is at 94 m. ^[10]

An average of 722 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at CONTRES, 2.8 km away at 103 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

81 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 188,238 € — 1,067 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Loir-et-Cher is 1,214 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
