Vitality score
Vitality score 24.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 57 % of the 18,035 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the PRE-ST-EVROULT weather station, 11.1 km away at 129 m; the village itself is at 150 m. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at PRE-ST-EVROULT, 11.1 km away at 129 m, over 24 summers. [13]
An average of 660 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 5.7 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at LA BOURDINIERE, 4.3 km away at 156 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
What property sold for
27 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 165,000 € — 1,396 € per m² of built surface. [14]
The median across Eure-et-Loir is 1,591 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [14]
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 Vitray-en-Beauce'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.
