Vitality score

Vitality score 21.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 54 % of the 17,579 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

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 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]

Measured at the GODERVILLE weather station, 9.8 km away at 118 m; the village itself is at 135 m. [13]

An average of 1,035 mm of rain a year, spread over 145 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [13]

Rainfall measured at VATTETOT-SOUS-B, 5.7 km away at 125 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

What property sold for

13 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 155,400 € — 1,125 € per m² of built surface. [14]

The median across Seine-Maritime is 1,803 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [14]

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.
