Vitality score
Vitality score 12.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 50 % of the 8,936 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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the SIGNY-LE-PETIT_SAPC weather station, 10.6 km away at 309 m; the village itself is at 262 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at ROCROI, 16 km away at 382 m, over 26 summers. [9]
That station sits 120 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,025 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CHAMPLIN, 2.3 km away at 257 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
No price figures: fewer than five comparable sales were registered here between 2021 and 2025. A median of two sales is not a median. [10]
Uncertainties
No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Estrebay'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.
