Vitality score

Vitality score 30.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 77 % of the 17,943 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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 79 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ST-PIERRE DE SOUCY weather station, 3.5 km away at 351 m; the village itself is at 316 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at MONTMELIAN, 7 km away at 264 m, over 21 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 52 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,114 mm of rain a year, spread over 113 days — about 9.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ST-PIERRE DE SOUCY, 3.5 km away at 351 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

15 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 227,550 € — 2,237 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 186,845 € — 1,472 € per m². ^[12]

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