Vitality score

Vitality score 7.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 4 % of the 15,908 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 at the CHATEAU CHINON weather station, 9.8 km away at 598 m; the village itself is at 367 m. ^[12]

The village sits 231 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at CHATEAU CHINON, 9.8 km away at 598 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 231 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,153 mm of rain a year, spread over 145 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at DOMMARTIN, 4.5 km away at 305 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

23 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 58,000 € — 725 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Nièvre is 893 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]

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.
