Better served than 87 % of the 17,836 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.

What property sold for

20 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 113,500 € — 999 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Mayenne is 1,254 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[11]

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.
