Vitality score
Vitality score 16.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 31 % of the 17,798 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MARCONNELLE weather station, 2.9 km away at 25 m; the village itself is at 27 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at RADINGHEM, 18.5 km away at 115 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 88 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,002 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MARCONNELLE, 2.9 km away at 25 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Grigny'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.
