Vitality score

Vitality score 55/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 84 % of the 9,820 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmGP — 2.7 km SE (Caudry)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 2.7 km SE Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Beauvois-en-Cambrésis): 0.4 km to the east (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Beauvois-en-Cambrésis): 0.3 km to the south (straight line). [8]

GP (Caudry): 2.7 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

Pharmacy (Beauvois-en-Cambrésis): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Beauvois-en-Cambrésis): 0.1 km to the south-east (straight line). [8]

Climate

No climate figures: the nearest weather station is more than 20 km away, too far to describe this commune.

What property sold for

172 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 90,400 € — 904 € per m² of built surface. [10]

6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 102,250 € — 555 € per m². [10]

The median across Nord is 1,802 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]

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.
