Vitality score
Vitality score 62.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 75 % of the 2,569 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LILLE-LESQUIN weather station, 2.2 km away at 47 m; the village itself is at 50 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LILLE-LESQUIN, 2.2 km away at 47 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 738 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LILLE-LESQUIN, 2.2 km away at 47 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
403 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 270,000 € — 3,012 € per m² of built surface. [11]
90 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 187,050 € — 3,408 € per m². [11]
The median across Nord is 1,802 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Lesquin'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.
