Vitality score

Vitality score 52.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: low (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette); sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 60 % of the 5,857 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ARCHAMPS weather station, 1.1 km away at 560 m; the village itself is at 503 m. [10]

The village sits 57 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. [10]

An average of 1,157 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at ARCHAMPS, 1.1 km away at 560 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

130 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 695,420 € — 5,527 € per m² of built surface. [11]

262 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 258,250 € — 4,310 € per m². [11]

The median across Haute-Savoie is 4,214 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.

Uncertainties

sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)

sources disagree on Restaurant

The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
