Vitality score
Vitality score 51.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 56 % of the 5,924 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.

Market and village life
Market day (reported, unverified): Thursday, Saturday. No source says whether it is weekly or monthly. [5,6]
Trajectory
Population 4,075 (2012) → 3,772 (2023): -7.4 % over 10 years. [7,1]
Population 3,292 (1990) → 3,772 (2023): 14.6 % over 30 years. [8,1]
Dwellings (2023): 2,465, of which 6.7 % second homes and 16.1 % vacant. [9]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Courtenay): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [10]
Food shop (Courtenay): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
GP (Courtenay): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [10]

Primary school (Courtenay): 0.3 km to the west (straight line). [10]
Climate
No climate figures: the nearest weather station is more than 20 km away, too far to describe this commune.
What property sold for
376 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 130,000 € — 962 € per m² of built surface. [12]
22 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 112,500 € — 728 € per m². [12]
The median across Loiret is 1,539 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
Uncertainties
sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)
The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5,6]
