Vitality score

Vitality score 16.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 59 % of the 12,827 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.

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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 90 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the RICHECOURT weather station, 11.8 km away at 227 m; the village itself is at 257 m. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at NONSARD, 16.9 km away at 230 m, over 22 summers. [12]

An average of 898 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at EUVILLE, 6.1 km away at 240 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

What property sold for

8 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 98,750 € — 689 € per m² of built surface. [13]

The median across Meuse is 893 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]

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 Frémeréville-sous-les-Côtes'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.
