Vitality score
Vitality score 36.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 33 % of the 10,616 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 41 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BELLEFONTAINE-VER_CTM weather station, 2.3 km away at 580 m; the village itself is at 404 m. [10]
The village sits 176 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 91 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at FOND-DENIS-CADET, 3.1 km away at 493 m, over 14 summers. [10]
That station sits 89 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.92 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 2,835 mm of rain a year, spread over 234 days — about 12.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BELLEFONTAINE-VER_CTM, 2.3 km away at 580 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
28 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 250,000 € — 1,678 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Martinique is 2,242 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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.
