Vitality score
Vitality score 19.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 57 % of the 16,431 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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MARCILLY-LE-HAY weather station, 7.9 km away at 128 m; the village itself is at 160 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST-MARDS, 18.4 km away at 227 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 67 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 770 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MARCILLY-LE-HAY, 7.9 km away at 128 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
10 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 95,250 € — 993 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Aube is 1,324 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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.
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 Faux-Villecerf'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.
