Vitality score

Vitality score 16.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 67 % of the 11,176 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.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 22.2

Days at or below 0 °C 25.6

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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the LICQ-ATHEREY weather station, 7.8 km away at 288 m; the village itself is at 216 m. ^[10]

The village sits 72 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

An average of 1,367 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at TROIS-VILLES, 3.1 km away at 216 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

No price figures: fewer than five comparable sales were registered here between 2021 and 2025. A median of two sales is not a median. ^[11]

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.
