Vitality score

Vitality score 37.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 60 % of the 14,992 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

An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the BERG weather station, 9.8 km away at 350 m; the village itself is at 219 m. ^[10]

The village sits 131 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °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 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at BERG, 9.8 km away at 350 m, over 21 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 131 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 917 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at SARREWERDEN, 3.7 km away at 235 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: this département keeps the livre foncier rather than the cadastre, so its transactions are not published in DVF at all. ^[11]
