Vitality score
Vitality score 91.7/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 63 % of the 68 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the REIMS-VILLE weather station, 1.6 km away at 99 m; the village itself is at 86 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at REIMS-COURCY, 5.5 km away at 91 m, over 17 summers. [9]
An average of 647 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at REIMS-VILLE, 1.6 km away at 99 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
2,893 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 240,000 € — 2,679 € per m² of built surface. [10]
10,615 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 135,000 € — 2,553 € per m². [10]
The median across Marne is 1,798 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]
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 Reims'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.
