Vitality score

Vitality score 62.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).

Better served than 84 % of the 4,329 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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 71 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the CHATILLON/SEINE weather station, 1.4 km away at 262 m; the village itself is at 220 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at CHATILLON/SEINE, 1.4 km away at 262 m, over 30 summers. [9]

An average of 840 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at CHATILLON/SEINE, 1.4 km away at 262 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

240 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 107,000 € — 1,059 € per m² of built surface. [10]

199 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 42,750 € — 691 € per m². [10]

The median across Côte-d'Or is 1,892 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.

…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 Châtillon-sur-Seine'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.
