Vitality score
Vitality score 43/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 6 % of the 2,400 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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LOISON-SOUS-L. weather station, 6.2 km away at 27 m; the village itself is at 29 m. [10]
An average of 707 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LOISON-SOUS-L., 6.2 km away at 27 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
513 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 158,000 € — 1,683 € per m² of built surface. [11]
28 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 134,455 € — 1,942 € per m². [11]
The median across Pas-de-Calais is 1,534 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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
sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
