Vitality score

Vitality score 26.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 14 % of the 12,968 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

Days at or above 30 °C 12.8

Days at or below 0 °C 76.6

Muggy days a summer 0.6

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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 77 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the COURCELLES-CHAUSSY weather station, 6.4 km away at 225 m; the village itself is at 247 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at AEROPORT METZ-NANCY-LORRAINE, 12 km away at 260 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

An average of 776 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at COURCELLES-CHAUSSY, 6.4 km away at 225 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

No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Laquenexy'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.
