Vitality score

Vitality score 15.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 42 % of the 15,809 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

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 11.2

Days at or below 0 °C 81

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the VAL-DE-MEUSE weather station, 17 km away at 380 m; the village itself is at 347 m. ^[11]

An average of 1,097 mm of rain a year, spread over 146 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at OZIERES, 12.1 km away at 411 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

16 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 80,150 € — 654 € 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.
