Better served than 14 % of the 17,484 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 at the BLECOURT weather station, 10.7 km away at 348 m; the village itself is at 205 m. ^[11]

The village sits 143 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BLECOURT, 10.7 km away at 348 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 143 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 863 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BLUMERAY, 5.8 km away at 232 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

20 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 56,000 € — 397 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Haute-Marne is 833 € 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.
