Vitality score

Vitality score 18.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 36 % of the 18,043 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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the LIEUREY weather station, 6.5 km away at 163 m; the village itself is at 149 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at BERNAY, 12.6 km away at 166 m, over 21 summers. [10]

An average of 897 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at LIEUREY, 6.5 km away at 163 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

22 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 159,000 € — 1,259 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Eure is 1,500 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]

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.

Uncertainties

…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 Saint-Victor-d'Épine'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.
