Vitality score
Vitality score 16.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 49 % of the 15,296 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.

An average of 830 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BONZEE_SAPC, 7.6 km away at 235 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
9 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 164,000 € — 1,000 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Meuse is 893 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Saint-Hilaire-en-Woëvre'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.
