Vitality score

Vitality score 24.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 56 % of the 18,079 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 (Cléty): 2.4 km to the south (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Remilly-Wirquin): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Setques): 4.8 km to the north (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 5.1

Days at or below 0 °C 22.4

Muggy days a summer 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 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 22 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the NIELLES-LES-BLEQUIN_SAPC weather station, 7.2 km away at 145 m; the village itself is at 52 m. ^[12]

The village sits 93 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. ^[12]

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

Humidity measured at RADINGHEM, 13.8 km away at 115 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 63 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,013 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at NIELLES-LES-BLEQUIN_SAPC, 7.2 km away at 145 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[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 Remilly-Wirquin'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.
