Vitality score
Vitality score 18.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 35 % of the 17,999 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the CHATILLON-CIVC weather station, 8.8 km away at 153 m; the village itself is at 101 m. [9]
The village sits 52 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CHAMBRECY-CIVC, 17 km away at 150 m, over 22 summers. [9]
An average of 714 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CHATILLON-CIVC, 8.8 km away at 153 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
27 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 140,000 € — 1,289 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Marne is 1,798 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
Uncertainties

…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 Vincelles'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.
