Vitality score

Vitality score 57.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 4,577 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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the VILLETTE weather station, 4.4 km away at 345 m; the village itself is at 214 m. [10]

The village sits 131 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. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at VILLETTE, 4.4 km away at 345 m, over 28 summers. [10]

That station sits 131 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 922 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at LONGUYON, 1.8 km away at 257 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

252 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 143,500 € — 1,441 € per m² of built surface. [11]

223 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 69,000 € — 836 € per m². [11]

The median across Meurthe-et-Moselle is 1,727 € 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 DATAtourisme 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 Longuyon'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.
