Vitality score

Vitality score 16.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 38 % of the 16,924 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 79 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the NOMENY weather station, 5.2 km away at 208 m; the village itself is at 242 m. [10]

An average of 704 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at NOMENY, 5.2 km away at 208 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

13 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 186,000 € — 827 € per m² of built surface. [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.
