Vitality score

Vitality score 19/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 42 % of the 17,742 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.

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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the ARRAS weather station, 7.6 km away at 74 m; the village itself is at 73 m. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]

…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 Hendecourt-lès-Cagnicourt'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.
