Confidence: high.

Better served than 44 % of the 17,967 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.

Climate

An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CUDOT_SAPC weather station, 5.6 km away at 170 m; the village itself is at 110 m. ^[11]

The village sits 60 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at JOIGNY, 9.3 km away at 75 m, over 17 summers. ^[11]

An average of 781 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at CUDOT_SAPC, 5.6 km away at 170 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

43 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 108,000 € — 1,109 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

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