Vitality score

Vitality score 55.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 88 % of the 12,311 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.

Trajectory

1968: 1,100 peak 2017: 1,382 2023: 1,360 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 1,367 (2012) → 1,360 (2023): -0.5 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 1,152 (1990) → 1,360 (2023): 18.1 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 643, of which 2.6 % second homes and 7.5 % vacant. [7]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the BOUZY-CIVC weather station, 5.4 km away at 153 m; the village itself is at 75 m. [10]

The village sits 78 m below 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 2 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at BOUZY-CIVC, 5.4 km away at 153 m, over 21 summers. [10]

That station sits 78 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 694 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 5.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at BOUZY-CIVC, 5.4 km away at 153 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

74 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 174,000 € — 1,751 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Marne is 1,798 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Tours-sur-Marne'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.
