Vitality score

Vitality score 71.3/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 99 % of the 6,283 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 1 day a year at or above 30 °C and 143 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ST-MARTIN DE BELLEVILLE weather station, 1.4 km away at 1,443 m; the village itself is at 1,384 m. ^[11]

The village sits 59 m below 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. ^[11]

An average of 943 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ST-MARTIN DE BELLEVILLE, 1.4 km away at 1,443 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

170 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 389,125 € — 5,089 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

1,452 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 189,902 € — 6,875 € per m². ^[12]

The median across Savoie is 2,827 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
