Vitality score

Vitality score 4.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 2 % of the 10,121 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.

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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 68 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the FAYL-BILLOT_SAPC weather station, 4.7 km away at 347 m; the village itself is at 314 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at FAYL-BILLOT_SAPC, 4.7 km away at 347 m, over 16 summers. [10]

An average of 992 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at FAYL-BILLOT_SAPC, 4.7 km away at 347 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

14 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 68,250 € — 933 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Haute-Marne is 833 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Maizières-sur-Amance'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.
