Vitality score

Vitality score 32.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 32 % of the 13,038 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 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the BOULLEVILLE weather station, 0.8 km away at 122 m; the village itself is at 118 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at BOULLEVILLE, 0.8 km away at 122 m, over 20 summers. [11]

An average of 865 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at BOULLEVILLE, 0.8 km away at 122 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

54 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 273,808 € — 1,176 € per m² of built surface. [12]

31 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 60,000 € — 1,710 € per m². [12]

The median across Eure is 1,500 € 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 Boulleville'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.
