Vitality score

Vitality score 47.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 43 % of the 6,335 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 km
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy 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 (Villeneuve-la-Guyard): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Villeneuve-la-Guyard): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]

GP (Villeneuve-la-Guyard): 0.4 km to the west (straight line). [8]

Pharmacy (Villeneuve-la-Guyard): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Villeneuve-la-Guyard): 0.4 km to the west (straight line). [8]

Climate

No climate figures: the nearest weather station is more than 20 km away, too far to describe this commune.

What property sold for

194 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,250 € — 1,721 € per m² of built surface. [9]

25 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 139,000 € — 1,350 € per m². [9]

The median across Yonne is 1,180 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [9]

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.

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.
