Vitality score

Vitality score 22.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 37 % of the 17,934 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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 40 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BUCHY weather station, 11.3 km away at 211 m; the village itself is at 156 m. ^[11]

The village sits 55 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

An average of 1,045 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BOSC, 3.7 km away at 163 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

28 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 181,500 € — 1,343 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Seine-Maritime is 1,803 € 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.
