Vitality score
Vitality score 43.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 70 % of the 14,153 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 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, 6.3 km away at 346 m; the village itself is at 202 m. [10]
The village sits 144 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 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at METZ-FRESCATY, 13.8 km away at 192 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 905 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MALANCOURT, 6.3 km away at 346 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]

…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 Semécourt'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.
