Vitality score

Vitality score 11.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 13 % of the 17,909 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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]

Measured at the CONDE_SAPC weather station, 4.9 km away at 265 m; the village itself is at 254 m. [13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [13]

Humidity measured at CHAUMONT - SA, 5.9 km away at 240 m, over 11 summers. [13]

An average of 916 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [13]

Rainfall measured at CONDE_SAPC, 4.9 km away at 265 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

What property sold for

21 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 80,000 € — 708 € per m² of built surface. [14]

The median across Meuse is 893 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [14]

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 Rembercourt-Sommaisne'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.
