Vitality score

Vitality score 17/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 63 % of the 12,697 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.

Climate

An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the NANCY-OCHEY weather station, 6.2 km away at 336 m; the village itself is at 274 m. ^[11]

The village sits 62 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 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at NANCY-OCHEY, 6.2 km away at 336 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 62 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 981 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BULLIGNY, 3.3 km away at 291 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

10 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 173,000 € — 715 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Meurthe-et-Moselle is 1,727 € 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.
