Vitality score

Vitality score 22/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 52 % of the 17,841 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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 92 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BOURDONS_SAPC weather station, 4 km away at 304 m; the village itself is at 362 m. ^[11]

The village sits 58 m above 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 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BOURDONS_SAPC, 4 km away at 304 m, over 21 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 58 m below 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 1,007 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BOURDONS_SAPC, 4 km away at 304 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

19 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 97,000 € — 500 € 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.
