Vitality score
Vitality score 44.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 34 % of the 6,349 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.

What property sold for
156 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 209,000 € — 1,812 € per m² of built surface. [9]
6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 153,000 € — 2,116 € per m². [9]
The median across Nord is 1,802 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [9]
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.

No specific uncertainties flagged.
