Vitality score
Vitality score 91.1/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 87 % of the 220 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
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the POITIERS-BIARD weather station, 2.6 km away at 125 m; the village itself is at 114 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at POITIERS-BIARD, 2.6 km away at 125 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 698 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at POITIERS-BIARD, 2.6 km away at 125 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
2,568 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 180,000 € — 1,985 € per m² of built surface. [12]
4,975 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 98,000 € — 2,167 € per m². [12]
The median across Vienne is 1,168 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Poitiers's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
