Vitality score
Vitality score 26/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 20 % of the 14,244 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.

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Charmes-la-Côte): 2.8 km to the north (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Blénod-lès-Toul): 0.6 km to the east (straight line). [9]
GP (Blénod-lès-Toul): 0.2 km to the east (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Blénod-lès-Toul): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). [9]
Primary school (Domgermain): 4.7 km to the north (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the NANCY-OCHEY weather station, 9.3 km away at 336 m; the village itself is at 282 m. [11]
The village sits 54 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at NANCY-OCHEY, 9.3 km away at 336 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 54 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 981 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BULLIGNY, 2.6 km away at 291 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
71 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 140,000 € — 1,111 € per m² of built surface. [12]
9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 113,000 € — 1,025 € per m². [12]
The median across Meurthe-et-Moselle is 1,727 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Blénod-lès-Toul'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.
