Vitality score

Vitality score 52.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 52 % of the 4,987 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ROUEN - JARDIN weather station, 14 km away at 21 m; the village itself is at 55 m. [10]

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

Humidity measured at ROUEN-BOOS, 19.2 km away at 156 m, over 30 summers. [10]

That station sits 101 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 1,048 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at GOUPILLERES, 7.7 km away at 151 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

256 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 180,000 € — 1,884 € per m² of built surface. [11]

21 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 177,000 € — 2,111 € per m². [11]

The median across Seine-Maritime is 1,803 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Montville'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.
