Vitality score

Vitality score 34.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 10 % of the 6,788 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.

Bakery (Salomé): 0.3 km to the south (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Illies): 1.8 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Salomé): 0.3 km to the south (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 7.5

Days at or below 0 °C 35.1

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 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, 18.4 km away at 47 m; the village itself is at 27 m. ^[10]

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

Humidity measured at LILLE-LESQUIN, 18.4 km away at 47 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

An average of 762 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at WAVRIN, 7.7 km away at 24 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

221 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 180,000 € — 2,035 € per m² of built surface. ^[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.

…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 Salomé'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.
