Vitality score

Vitality score 23.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 34 % of the 17,386 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 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the CAPPELLE-EN-PEV weather station, 6.4 km away at 51 m; the village itself is at 33 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at LILLE-LESQUIN, 9.6 km away at 47 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 718 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]

…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 Cobrieux'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.
