Vitality score

Vitality score 38.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 18 % of the 6,803 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.

In the commune Bakery, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Food shop — 0.6 km S 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 (Escaudœuvres): 0.3 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Escaudœuvres): 0.6 km to the south (straight line). [8]

GP (Escaudœuvres): 0.2 km to the 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

204 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 114,675 € — 1,171 € per m² of built surface. [9]

The median across Nord is 1,802 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [9]

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.

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.
