Vitality score
Vitality score 17.5/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 31 % of the 18,048 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the REIMS-VILLE weather station, 7.3 km away at 99 m; the village itself is at 99 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at MAILLY-CIVC, 9.7 km away at 182 m, over 22 summers. [11]
That station sits 83 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 647 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at REIMS-VILLE, 7.3 km away at 99 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
9 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 399,000 € — 2,881 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Marne is 1,798 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]
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 Villers-aux-Nœuds'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.
