Vitality score
Vitality score 50.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 69 % of the 8,232 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
An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CRAON weather station, 10.9 km away at 50 m; the village itself is at 73 m. [11]
An average of 786 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at RENAZE, 0.6 km away at 83 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
269 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 80,000 € — 891 € per m² of built surface. [12]
8 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 92,500 € — 656 € per m². [12]
The median across Mayenne is 1,254 € 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.
