Vitality score
Vitality score 40.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 75 % of the 16,181 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.

Trajectory
Population 843 (2012) → 735 (2023): -12.8 % over 10 years. [5,1]
Population 975 (1990) → 735 (2023): -24.6 % over 30 years. [6,1]
Dwellings (2023): 545, of which 6.2 % second homes and 30.5 % vacant. [7]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Nuits): 1.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Ravières): 0 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]
GP (Ancy-le-Franc): 6.5 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Ancy-le-Franc): 6.9 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
Primary school (Ravières): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 45 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CRUZY_SAPC weather station, 13.1 km away at 291 m; the village itself is at 193 m. [11]
The village sits 98 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 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CRUZY_SAPC, 13.1 km away at 291 m, over 18 summers. [11]
That station sits 98 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 878 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at VILLIERS-LES-HAUTS, 6.4 km away at 243 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
71 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 50,000 € — 549 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Yonne is 1,180 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Ravières'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.
