Vitality score

Vitality score 45.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 50 % of the 8,211 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

Days at or above 30 °C 9.7

Days at or below 0 °C 59.6

Muggy days a summer 1.4

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 60 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the AIRION weather station, 4.7 km away at 71 m; the village itself is at 62 m. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at AIRION, 4.7 km away at 71 m, over 16 summers. ^[9]

An average of 687 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at BREUIL-LE-VERT, 2.7 km away at 57 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

What property sold for

133 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 192,500 € — 2,100 € per m² of built surface. ^[10]

55 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 99,000 € — 2,018 € per m². ^[10]

The median across Oise is 2,073 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[10]

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 Fitz-James'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.
