Vitality score

Vitality score 57.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 92 % of the 13,512 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.

Market and village life

Market day: unknown — nothing found in the datasets or on the commune website.

Trajectory

1968: 877 2023: 1,146 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 1,104 (2012) → 1,146 (2023): 3.8 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 971 (1990) → 1,146 (2023): 18 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 551, of which 1.3 % second homes and 6.5 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmPrimary school — 1.6 km NW (Saint-Augustin)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, GP, Pharmacy Primary school — 1.6 km NW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Thérouanne): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Thérouanne): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [8]

GP (Thérouanne): 0.3 km to the north (straight line). [8]

Pharmacy (Thérouanne): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Saint-Augustin): 1.6 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]

Climate

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 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the RADINGHEM weather station, 14 km away at 115 m; the village itself is at 37 m. [10]

The village sits 78 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. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at RADINGHEM, 14 km away at 115 m, over 30 summers. [10]

That station sits 78 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 1,028 mm of rain a year, spread over 143 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at RADINGHEM, 14 km away at 115 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

69 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,000 € — 1,053 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Pas-de-Calais is 1,534 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]

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.

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Thérouanne'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.
