Vitality score

Vitality score 38/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 51 % of the 13,389 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

Days at or above 30 °C 12.3

Days at or below 0 °C 59.8

Muggy days a summer 2.1

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 60 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the CREZANCY weather station, 0.7 km away at 125 m; the village itself is at 83 m. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at BLESMES, 5.5 km away at 222 m, over 30 summers. ^[9]

That station sits 139 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[9]

An average of 759 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at CREZANCY, 0.7 km away at 125 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

What property sold for

70 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 133,875 € — 1,179 € per m² of built surface. ^[10]

The median across Aisne is 1,096 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.

No specific uncertainties flagged.

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Crézancy's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
