Vitality score
Vitality score 56.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 2,971 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ROUBAIX weather station, 7.9 km away at 30 m; the village itself is at 46 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LILLE-LESQUIN, 18.9 km away at 47 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 848 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ROUBAIX, 7.9 km away at 30 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
448 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 285,120 € — 2,848 € per m² of built surface. [11]
121 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 199,000 € — 3,302 € 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 Linselles'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.
