Vitality score

Vitality score 62.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 58 % of the 1,713 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

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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the TRUMILLY weather station, 6.5 km away at 111 m; the village itself is at 99 m. [10]

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

Humidity measured at PLESSIS-BELLEVILLE, 18.3 km away at 116 m, over 22 summers. [10]

An average of 764 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at FRESNOY-LA-RIVIERE, 5.8 km away at 61 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

501 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 246,000 € — 2,716 € per m² of built surface. [11]

427 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 128,000 € — 2,629 € per m². [11]

The median across Oise is 2,073 € 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 DATAtourisme 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 Crépy-en-Valois'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.
