Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 46 % of the 16,755 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

An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the FIEFS weather station, 15.9 km away at 180 m; the village itself is at 107 m. ^[11]

The village sits 73 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 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at LILLERS, 19.6 km away at 19 m, over 23 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 88 m below 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 841 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at AUBIGNY, 9.1 km away at 96 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

24 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 130,850 € — 982 € 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.
