Vitality score
Vitality score 35.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 66 % of the 16,707 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.

Dwellings (2023): 341, of which 5 % second homes and 7.9 % vacant. [7]

GP (Étoges): 6 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the VERT TOULON-CIVC weather station, 11.8 km away at 155 m; the village itself is at 211 m. [10]
The village sits 56 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CHOUILLY, 16.4 km away at 172 m, over 20 summers. [10]
An average of 845 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MONTMORT-MAN, 2.8 km away at 192 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
28 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 154,500 € — 1,212 € per m² of built surface. [11]
16 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 51,500 € — 1,166 € per m². [11]
The median across Marne is 1,798 € 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.

…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 Montmort-Lucy'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.
