Vitality score

Vitality score 31.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 20 % of the 11,045 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.

Climate

An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the PETIVILLE weather station, 10.5 km away at 18 m; the village itself is at 109 m. ^[12]

The village sits 91 m above 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. ^[12]

An average of 1,088 mm of rain a year, spread over 156 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at BOLBEC, 7.2 km away at 61 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

107 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 220,000 € — 1,584 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Seine-Maritime is 1,803 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]

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.
