Vitality score

Vitality score 57.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 69 % of the 4,176 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

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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the LANDES-GENUSSON weather station, 9.8 km away at 100 m; the village itself is at 161 m. [11]

The village sits 61 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. [11]

An average of 878 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at LANDES-GENUSSON, 9.8 km away at 100 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

298 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 175,000 € — 1,824 € per m² of built surface. [12]

The median across Vendée is 2,125 € 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.

Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]
