Vitality score

Vitality score 45.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 89 % of the 17,510 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.

An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the PECQUENCOURT weather station, 15.4 km away at 19 m; the village itself is at 44 m. ^[10]

An average of 693 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ESCAUDOEUVRES, 10.1 km away at 42 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
