Vitality score
Vitality score 53.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: low (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie); sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 27 % of the 1,994 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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SEINGBOUSE weather station, 13 km away at 347 m; the village itself is at 211 m. [10]
The village sits 136 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at SEINGBOUSE, 13 km away at 347 m, over 21 summers. [10]
That station sits 136 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 886 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CARLING, 6.1 km away at 270 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
No price figures: this département keeps the livre foncier rather than the cadastre, so its transactions are not published in DVF at all. [11]
Uncertainties
sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)
sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Creutzwald'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.
