Vitality score

Vitality score 36/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 55 % of the 14,839 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

An average of 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the BRECEY weather station, 9.5 km away at 63 m; the village itself is at 141 m. ^[13]

The village sits 78 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at BRECEY, 9.5 km away at 63 m, over 15 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 78 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 1,065 mm of rain a year, spread over 154 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at ST OVIN, 9.1 km away at 155 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]

What property sold for

63 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 125,500 € — 970 € per m² of built surface. ^[14]

The median across Manche is 1,444 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[14]

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.
