Vitality score

Vitality score 37.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 38 % of the 11,026 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.

Bakery (Souchez): 3.8 km to the north (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Écurie): 3.1 km to the south (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Neuville-Saint-Vaast): 0 km to the east (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 7.8

Days at or below 0 °C 48.8

Muggy days a summer 1.1

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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LOISON-SOUS-L. weather station, 11.7 km away at 27 m; the village itself is at 108 m. ^[11]

The village sits 81 m above 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 ARRAS, 13.5 km away at 74 m, over 29 summers. ^[11]

An average of 762 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LENS, 8.8 km away at 43 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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 Neuville-Saint-Vaast'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.
