Vitality score

Vitality score 45.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 37 % of the 6,491 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: 264 peak 2017: 3,400 2023: 3,354 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 3,150 (2012) → 3,354 (2023): 6.5 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 2,331 (1990) → 3,354 (2023): 43.9 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 1,345, of which 1.3 % second homes and 3.2 % vacant. [7]

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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the FERRIERES - ONF weather station, 2.2 km away at 101 m; the village itself is at 105 m. [10]

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

Humidity measured at TORCY, 3.3 km away at 43 m, over 28 summers. [10]

That station sits 62 m below 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 713 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 5.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at FERRIERES - ONF, 2.2 km away at 101 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

98 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 400,000 € — 3,961 € per m² of built surface. [11]

105 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 225,000 € — 3,579 € per m². [11]

The median across Seine-et-Marne is 2,667 € 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.

…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 Collégien'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.
