Vitality score
Vitality score 61.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 65 % of the 2,226 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.

Weekly market (reported, unverified): Thursday, Saturday le jeudi de 8h00 à 12h30 et le samedi de 8h00 à 17h00 place de la Halle. [5]
Trajectory
Population 13,065 (2012) → 10,996 (2023): -15.8 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 17,033 (1990) → 10,996 (2023): -35.4 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 6,586, of which 1.9 % second homes and 14.2 % vacant. [8]

Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Vitry-le-François): 0.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]

GP (Vitry-le-François): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the FRIGNICOURT weather station, 3.4 km away at 113 m; the village itself is at 104 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at FRIGNICOURT, 3.4 km away at 113 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 710 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at FRIGNICOURT, 3.4 km away at 113 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
332 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 103,500 € — 1,122 € per m² of built surface. [11]
292 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 71,000 € — 1,013 € per m². [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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Vitry-le-François'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.
