Vitality score

Vitality score 49.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 78 % of the 12,266 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.

In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Douchy-Montcorbon): 0.3 km to the east (straight line). [10]

Food shop (Douchy-Montcorbon): 0.3 km to the east (straight line). [10]

GP (Douchy-Montcorbon): 0.1 km to the east (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

139 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 116,000 € — 941 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Loiret is 1,539 € 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.

Uncertainties

The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]
