Vitality score

Vitality score 68.5/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 94 % of the 2,866 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the ST-BENOIT/LOIRE weather station, 9.1 km away at 112 m; the village itself is at 117 m. [9]

An average of 696 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at ST-BENOIT/LOIRE, 9.1 km away at 112 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

517 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 184,500 € — 1,731 € per m² of built surface. [10]

160 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 98,050 € — 1,728 € per m². [10]

The median across Loiret is 1,539 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]

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.
