Vitality score
Vitality score 62.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 1,893 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 74 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the BEAUVALLON weather station, 2.3 km away at 16 m; the village itself is at 51 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 87 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at GILLOT-AEROPORT, 19.1 km away at 8 m, over 30 summers. [9]
An average of 3,156 mm of rain a year, spread over 189 days — about 16.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BEAUVALLON, 2.3 km away at 16 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
158 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 218,000 € — 2,235 € per m² of built surface. [10]
139 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 87,000 € — 1,712 € per m². [10]
The median across La Réunion is 2,542 € 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.
