Vitality score

Vitality score 61.3/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).

Better served than 72 % of the 2,654 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.

Market and village life

Trajectory

1968: 13,607 peak 1975: 13,994 2023: 9,253 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 9,783 (2012) → 9,253 (2023): -5.4 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 11,289 (1990) → 9,253 (2023): -18 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 4,569, of which 0.7 % second homes and 11.7 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 1.5 km N 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.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the VALENCIENNES weather station, 16.3 km away at 50 m; the village itself is at 20 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at VALENCIENNES, 16.3 km away at 50 m, over 29 summers. [9]

An average of 781 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at SAINT-AMAND, 13 km away at 17 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

323 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 115,000 € — 1,165 € per m² of built surface. [10]

90 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 77,250 € — 1,297 € 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.

…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 Condé-sur-l'Escaut'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.
