Vitality score
Vitality score 21.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 67 % of the 15,809 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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 66 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BONZEE_SAPC weather station, 17.4 km away at 235 m; the village itself is at 222 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at NONSARD, 17.9 km away at 230 m, over 22 summers. [10]
An average of 845 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST MIHIEL, 5.4 km away at 226 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
14 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 110,250 € — 853 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Meuse is 893 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Rouvrois-sur-Meuse'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.
