Vitality score
Vitality score 56/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 94 % of the 15,202 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.

Population 714 (1990) → 863 (2023): 20.9 % over 30 years. [6,1]
Dwellings (2023): 352, of which 3.4 % second homes and 3.4 % vacant. [7]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Frenelles-en-Vexin): 2.7 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Écouis): 0.7 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]
GP (Les Andelys): 7.1 km to the south (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Écouis): 0.1 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]
Primary school (Écouis): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LES ANDELYS weather station, 7.4 km away at 16 m; the village itself is at 153 m. [11]
The village sits 137 m above 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 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at MUIDS, 14.6 km away at 31 m, over 19 summers. [11]
That station sits 122 m below 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 742 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LES ANDELYS, 7.4 km away at 16 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
53 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,000 € — 1,402 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Eure is 1,500 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Écouis'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.
