Vitality score

Vitality score 15/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 6,293 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

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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the MATHAUX-ETAPE weather station, 10 km away at 145 m; the village itself is at 125 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at MATHAUX-ETAPE, 10 km away at 145 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 778 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at MAIZIERES-LES-B, 3.5 km away at 123 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

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. [11]

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 Perthes-lès-Brienne'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.
