Vitality score
Vitality score 22.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 43 % of the 18,004 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 27 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BAINGHEN_SAPC weather station, 2.4 km away at 117 m; the village itself is at 89 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at DESVRES, 16.5 km away at 185 m, over 12 summers. [11]
That station sits 96 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,136 mm of rain a year, spread over 149 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BAINGHEN_SAPC, 2.4 km away at 117 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
15 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 207,000 € — 1,263 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Pas-de-Calais is 1,534 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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 Herbinghen'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.
