Vitality score
Vitality score 29.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 73 % of the 17,908 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 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the HUMIERES_SAPC weather station, 5 km away at 127 m; the village itself is at 142 m. [12]
An average of 890 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at HUMIERES_SAPC, 5 km away at 127 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
11 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 140,000 € — 833 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Pas-de-Calais is 1,534 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]
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.
