Vitality score

Vitality score 30/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 76 % of the 17,879 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

Days at or above 30 °C 22.5

Days at or below 0 °C 44.1

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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BOUILLE-LORETZ weather station, 10.4 km away at 55 m; the village itself is at 107 m. ^[11]

The village sits 52 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

An average of 605 mm of rain a year, spread over 104 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BOUILLE-LORETZ, 10.4 km away at 55 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

24 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 83,575 € — 797 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Deux-Sèvres is 1,143 € 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.
