Vitality score
Vitality score 8.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 10 % of the 15,245 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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CLAMECY weather station, 11.3 km away at 215 m; the village itself is at 231 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at CLAMECY, 11.3 km away at 215 m, over 23 summers. [12]
An average of 785 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at TANNAY, 4.1 km away at 235 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
19 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 77,500 € — 861 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Nièvre is 893 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [13]
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 Metz-le-Comte'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.
