Vitality score
Vitality score 60/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 98 % of the 16,981 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.

What property sold for
20 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 195,000 € — 1,718 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Meurthe-et-Moselle is 1,727 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [10]
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.
