Vitality score

Vitality score 31.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 44 % of the 15,453 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

Days at or above 30 °C 5.4

Days at or below 0 °C 32.4

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 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the HUMIERES_SAPC weather station, 9.6 km away at 127 m; the village itself is at 91 m. ^[10]

An average of 962 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ST-POL-TERNOISE, 1.9 km away at 129 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
