Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 75 % of the 15,482 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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the VILLETTE weather station, 12.2 km away at 345 m; the village itself is at 237 m. ^[10]

The village sits 108 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 VILLETTE, 12.2 km away at 345 m, over 28 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 108 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 922 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LONGUYON, 7.4 km away at 257 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

41 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 155,000 € — 1,460 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

26 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 54,500 € — 673 € per m². ^[11]

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