Vitality score
Vitality score 25.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 17,971 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
An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 84 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BADONVILLER weather station, 2.8 km away at 336 m; the village itself is at 290 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST MAURICE, 3.8 km away at 305 m, over 23 summers. [10]
An average of 1,063 mm of rain a year, spread over 147 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BADONVILLER, 2.8 km away at 336 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
31 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 75,000 € — 612 € per m² of built surface. [11]
7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 84,000 € — 285 € 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.

…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 Pexonne'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.
