Vitality score

Vitality score 61.7/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 98 % of the 15,194 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.

Population 796 (2012) → 867 (2023): 8.9 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 658 (1990) → 867 (2023): 31.8 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 487, of which 9.2 % second homes and 10.7 % vacant. [7]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 68 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the VERNINES weather station, 5.3 km away at 1,045 m; the village itself is at 879 m. [10]

The village sits 166 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at VERNINES, 5.3 km away at 1,045 m, over 20 summers. [10]

That station sits 166 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 934 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at OLBY, 2.6 km away at 815 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

31 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 156,000 € — 1,346 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Puy-de-Dôme is 1,487 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]

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.

…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 Nébouzat'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.
