Vitality score
Vitality score 14/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 18 % of the 18,042 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 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the NOYERS_SAPC weather station, 6.8 km away at 266 m; the village itself is at 190 m. [9]
The village sits 76 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at NOYERS, 7.9 km away at 185 m, over 15 summers. [9]
An average of 923 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at DISSANGIS, 3.1 km away at 194 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
44 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 105,000 € — 1,000 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Yonne is 1,180 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]
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 Massangis'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.
