Better served than 70 % of the 15,408 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BEAUVAIS-TILLE, 12.8 km away at 89 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 70 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 771 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at PUITS-LA-VALLEE, 3 km away at 168 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

11 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 199,587 € — 1,563 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Oise is 2,073 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.
