Vitality score

Vitality score 24.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 80 % of the 15,200 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

An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the ST DIZIER-L'EVEQUE_SAPC weather station, 2.7 km away at 553 m; the village itself is at 558 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at DORANS, 19 km away at 401 m, over 16 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 157 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,105 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ST DIZIER-L'EVEQUE_SAPC, 2.7 km away at 553 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

8 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 255,500 € — 1,539 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Territoire de Belfort is 1,598 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[13]

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.
