Vitality score
Vitality score 66.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 71 % of the 1,554 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.

Trajectory
Population 14,195 (2012) → 15,679 (2023): 10.5 % over 10 years. [5,1]
Population 15,439 (1990) → 15,679 (2023): 1.6 % over 30 years. [6,1]
Dwellings (2023): 8,720, of which 1.9 % second homes and 8.7 % vacant. [7]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie

GP (Longwy): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]
Pharmacy (Longwy): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]
Primary school (Longwy): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the VILLETTE weather station, 14.2 km away at 345 m; the village itself is at 256 m. [9]
The village sits 89 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 VILLETTE, 14.2 km away at 345 m, over 28 summers. [9]
That station sits 89 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 978 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at MEXY, 2.1 km away at 372 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
489 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 176,000 € — 1,905 € per m² of built surface. [10]
479 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 140,000 € — 1,678 € per m². [10]
The median across Meurthe-et-Moselle is 1,727 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.

…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 Longwy'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.
