Vitality score

Vitality score 29.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 4 % of the 6,709 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.

The median across Nord is 1,802 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[11]

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.
