Vitality score
Vitality score 24.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 42 % of the 17,897 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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the VIEUX-MOULIN weather station, 6.4 km away at 126 m; the village itself is at 73 m. [12]
The village sits 53 m below 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at MARGNY-LES-COMPIEGNE, 18.8 km away at 92 m, over 30 summers. [12]
An average of 724 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at VIEUX-MOULIN, 6.4 km away at 126 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Chelles'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.
