Vitality score
Vitality score 53.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 1,706 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.

Weekly market (reported, unverified): Wednesday, Saturday 8h à 12h45 (mercredi), 8h30 à 13h (samedi) avenue Charles-Gounod, Cité Rose (mercredi) et place du marché, cité verte (samedi). [5]
Trajectory
Population 14,781 (2012) → 14,402 (2023): -2.6 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 16,090 (1990) → 14,402 (2023): -10.5 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 7,111, of which 0.3 % second homes and 8 % vacant. [8]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ROUEN - JARDIN weather station, 4.4 km away at 21 m; the village itself is at 129 m. [10]
The village sits 108 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ROUEN-BOOS, 12.4 km away at 156 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 817 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ROUEN - JARDIN, 4.4 km away at 21 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
284 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 186,675 € — 2,009 € per m² of built surface. [11]
279 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 88,000 € — 1,447 € per m². [11]
The median across Seine-Maritime is 1,803 € per m², so this commune sits above 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
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Canteleu'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.
