Vitality score

Vitality score 30.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 36 % of the 14,691 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

Days at or above 30 °C 14.5

Days at or below 0 °C 66.1

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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 66 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the BONZEE_SAPC weather station, 10 km away at 235 m; the village itself is at 231 m. ^[10]

An average of 978 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at DIEUE, 3.1 km away at 209 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

46 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 83,635 € — 901 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Meuse is 893 € 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.
