Vitality score
Vitality score 53.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 76 % of the 7,842 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
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CREUSOT(LE) weather station, 1 km away at 320 m; the village itself is at 342 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at TORCY, 3.3 km away at 317 m, over 23 summers. [10]
An average of 917 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CREUSOT(LE), 1 km away at 320 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
76 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 124,050 € — 1,183 € per m² of built surface. [11]
8 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 79,250 € — 698 € per m². [11]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Torcy's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
