Vitality score
Vitality score 48.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 54 % of the 7,216 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 151 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the MARIGOT-BELLEVU_CTM weather station, 1.7 km away at 142 m; the village itself is at 35 m. [9]
The village sits 107 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 7.86 °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 92 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at STE-MARIE CONCO, 7.9 km away at 170 m, over 14 summers. [9]
That station sits 135 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.92 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 2,240 mm of rain a year, spread over 217 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at MARIGOT-BELLEVU_CTM, 1.7 km away at 142 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
35 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 155,000 € — 1,545 € per m² of built surface. [10]
11 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 144,000 € — 2,081 € per m². [10]
The median across Martinique is 2,242 € 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.
