Vitality score
Vitality score 48.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 41 % of the 5,626 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the VIABON weather station, 9.3 km away at 138 m; the village itself is at 144 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at VIABON, 9.3 km away at 138 m, over 26 summers. [12]
An average of 592 mm of rain a year, spread over 106 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at VIABON, 9.3 km away at 138 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
263 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 156,000 € — 1,563 € per m² of built surface. [13]
17 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 64,000 € — 1,557 € per m². [13]
The median across Eure-et-Loir is 1,591 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [13]
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
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]

…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 Les Villages Vovéens'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.
