Vitality score
Vitality score 51.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 59 % of the 6,175 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.

Population 3,944 (1990) → 3,579 (2023): -9.3 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 1,815, of which 1 % second homes and 7.8 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Lumbres): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Lumbres): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]
GP (Lumbres): 0.6 km to the west (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Helfaut): 8.6 km to the east (straight line). [10]
Primary school (Lumbres): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 22 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the NIELLES-LES-BLEQUIN_SAPC weather station, 5.7 km away at 145 m; the village itself is at 46 m. [11]
The village sits 99 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at RADINGHEM, 17.4 km away at 115 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 69 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 1,013 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at NIELLES-LES-BLEQUIN_SAPC, 5.7 km away at 145 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
221 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 132,000 € — 1,364 € per m² of built surface. [12]
7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 108,000 € — 1,016 € per m². [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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Lumbres'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.
