Vitality score

Vitality score 43.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 48 % of the 9,185 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Food shop, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Bakery — 2.6 km SW 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 (Vendegies-au-Bois): 2.6 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Poix-du-Nord): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Poix-du-Nord): 0.3 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[9]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 6.5

Days at or below 0 °C 52

Muggy days a summer 0.8

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the VALENCIENNES weather station, 18.7 km away at 50 m; the village itself is at 121 m. ^[10]

The village sits 71 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at VALENCIENNES, 18.7 km away at 50 m, over 29 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 71 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[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, 6.5 km away at 134 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Poix-du-Nord'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.
