Vitality score
Vitality score 45.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 48 % of the 7,904 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.

Where this sits nationally

Measured at the TRESSANGE weather station, 10.8 km away at 358 m; the village itself is at 310 m. [9]
An average of 1,035 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BASSOMPIERRE, 9.1 km away at 337 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
No price figures: this département keeps the livre foncier rather than the cadastre, so its transactions are not published in DVF at all. [10]
