Vitality score
Vitality score 12.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 26 % of the 15,590 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MARCILLY-LE-HAY weather station, 3 km away at 128 m; the village itself is at 116 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BOUY-SUR-ORVIN, 12.6 km away at 102 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 770 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MARCILLY-LE-HAY, 3 km away at 128 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
18 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 113,000 € — 1,092 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Aube is 1,324 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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.

…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 Bercenay-le-Hayer'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.
