Vitality score
Vitality score 37.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 71 % of the 16,648 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 22 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BOULLEVILLE weather station, 7.8 km away at 122 m; the village itself is at 31 m. [11]
The village sits 91 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BOULLEVILLE, 7.8 km away at 122 m, over 20 summers. [11]
That station sits 91 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 916 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at FATOUVILLE, 3.3 km away at 102 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
66 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 200,000 € — 1,889 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Eure is 1,500 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Berville-sur-Mer'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.
