Vitality score
Vitality score 6.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 18 % of the 2,957 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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ARGERS weather station, 13.4 km away at 152 m; the village itself is at 139 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ARGERS, 13.4 km away at 152 m, over 22 summers. [10]
An average of 833 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BERZIEUX, 5.5 km away at 140 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
5 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 65,000 € — 670 € per m² of built surface. [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 Saint-Thomas-en-Argonne'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.
