Vitality score

Vitality score 32.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 76 % of the 18,024 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the MAUBEUGE weather station, 17.5 km away at 142 m; the village itself is at 109 m. ^[10]

An average of 834 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LE QUESNOY, 12.6 km away at 134 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
