Vitality score

Vitality score 30.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 77 % of the 17,936 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.

9 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 133,000 € — 914 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Haute-Saône is 990 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[12]

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.
