Confidence: high.

Better served than 50 % of the 18,059 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 at the ERROUVILLE_SAPC weather station, 13.5 km away at 373 m; the village itself is at 282 m. ^[10]

The village sits 91 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. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at DONCOURT-LES-CONFLANS, 16.2 km away at 235 m, over 20 summers. ^[10]

An average of 975 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ERROUVILLE_SAPC, 13.5 km away at 373 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

26 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 228,900 € — 1,662 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 233,500 € — 1,463 € per m². ^[11]

The median across Meurthe-et-Moselle is 1,727 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.
