Vitality score

Vitality score 14/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 11 % of the 17,957 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.

Climate

Measured at the PLAUZAT_SAPC weather station, 7 km away at 495 m; the village itself is at 432 m. ^[12]

The village sits 63 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at PLAUZAT_SAPC, 7 km away at 495 m, over 18 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 63 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 626 mm of rain a year, spread over 96 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LA SAUVETAT, 6.2 km away at 373 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

26 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 128,250 € — 1,154 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Puy-de-Dôme is 1,487 € 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.
