Vitality score
Vitality score 33.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 41 % of the 13,804 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 45 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the PRIN-DEYRANCON weather station, 7.3 km away at 14 m; the village itself is at 30 m. [12]
An average of 832 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at PRIN-DEYRANCON, 7.3 km away at 14 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
104 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 145,000 € — 1,078 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Deux-Sèvres is 1,143 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.
