Vitality score
Vitality score 7.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 7 % of the 12,401 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.

An average of 925 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CHATEAUNEUF VAL, 3.8 km away at 278 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
16 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 46,500 € — 524 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Nièvre is 893 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Arbourse's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
