Vitality score

Vitality score 51.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 93 % of the 16,637 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.

In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 6.3 km SE Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Lézinnes): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Lézinnes): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

GP (Ancy-le-Franc): 6.3 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the TONNERRE JOUDRE weather station, 10.3 km away at 200 m; the village itself is at 170 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at TONNERRE JOUDRE, 10.3 km away at 200 m, over 20 summers. [10]

An average of 812 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at ANCY-LE-FRANC, 6 km away at 180 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

51 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 75,000 € — 813 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Yonne is 1,180 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Lézinnes'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.
