Vitality score

Vitality score 46.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 89 % of the 17,037 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

An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 76 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the ST-DIDIER-BEAUJ weather station, 1.8 km away at 345 m; the village itself is at 433 m. ^[10]

The village sits 88 m above 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 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at VAUXRENARD, 9.3 km away at 740 m, over 21 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 307 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 928 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ST-DIDIER-BEAUJ, 1.8 km away at 345 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

30 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 207,500 € — 1,455 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 100,000 € — 1,182 € per m². ^[11]

The median across Rhône is 3,334 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
