Vitality score
Vitality score 34.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 20 % of the 8,650 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MALANCOURT weather station, 14.3 km away at 346 m; the village itself is at 201 m. [10]
The village sits 145 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]
An average of 757 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at METZERVISSE, 4.9 km away at 226 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
