Vitality score

Vitality score 36/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 38 % of the 11,979 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.

In the commune Primary school, GP Food shop — 1.2 km SWBakery — 1.3 km SWPharmacy — 3.0 km SE 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 (Masnières): 1.3 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Masnières): 1.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

GP (Rumilly-en-Cambrésis): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]

Climate

No climate figures: the nearest weather station is more than 20 km away, too far to describe this commune.

What property sold for

94 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 132,500 € — 1,146 € per m² of built surface. [11]

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.

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.
