Needs bandwidth and an airport more than it needs a pharmacy. Will trade services for cheap space and a fast train.

The honest part
Who lives here, and for how much longer
On current births and deaths alone, the population changes by -22.4% over twenty years. It is a projection, not a forecast — no migration is modelled.
Mean age

A note on the data
No Speedtest samples within 3 km, so there is no measured internet speed for this village. That absence is itself a signal about how many people are online here.
Who it fits
Three ways of wanting a village
Each score weights the axes differently. Coverage says how much of that weighting we could actually fill — a score built on fewer axes is a weaker claim.
Cheap-house renovator
46
40% coverage
Chasing price per square metre. Tolerates isolation, but a village that is emptying fast is a house that will never resell.
Missing: access, air, community, cost
Retiree / semi-retired
44
44% coverage
Wants a doctor nearby, a hospital that exists, sun, a house that costs less than the flat back home, and other foreigners to talk to.
