Vitality score
Vitality score 32.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 56 % of the 16,393 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the DIXMONT weather station, 8.2 km away at 145 m; the village itself is at 166 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at JOIGNY, 11.4 km away at 75 m, over 17 summers. [10]
That station sits 91 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 862 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at DIXMONT, 8.2 km away at 145 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
60 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 114,500 € — 1,177 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Yonne is 1,180 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]
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 Bussy-en-Othe'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.
