Vitality score

Vitality score 24.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 50 % of the 17,969 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.

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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the NOTRE-DAME DE BLIQUETUIT weather station, 7.9 km away at 4 m; the village itself is at 122 m. [9]

The village sits 118 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. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at NOTRE-DAME DE BLIQUETUIT, 7.9 km away at 4 m, over 19 summers. [9]

That station sits 118 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]

An average of 791 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at NOTRE-DAME DE BLIQUETUIT, 7.9 km away at 4 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

27 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 188,000 € — 1,832 € per m² of built surface. [10]

The median across Seine-Maritime is 1,803 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [10]

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.

…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 Carville-la-Folletière'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.
