Vitality score

Vitality score 51.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: low (sources disagree on Restaurant; sources disagree on Pharmacy).

Better served than 38 % of the 2,865 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.

Where this sits nationally

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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the LOISON-SOUS-L. weather station, 5.6 km away at 27 m; the village itself is at 55 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at ARRAS, 15.5 km away at 74 m, over 29 summers. [11]

An average of 707 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [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 Rouvroy'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.
