Vitality score
Vitality score 23.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 37 % of the 17,581 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally

Measured at the ST-BENOIT/LOIRE weather station, 9.9 km away at 112 m; the village itself is at 105 m. [12]
An average of 696 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ST-BENOIT/LOIRE, 9.9 km away at 112 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
29 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 190,000 € — 981 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Loiret is 1,539 € 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.
