Vitality score

Vitality score 58.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 75 % of the 4,717 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: 1,928 2023: 4,973 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 4,251 (2012) → 4,973 (2023): 17 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 3,222 (1990) → 4,973 (2023): 54.3 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 2,427, of which 4 % second homes and 6.3 % 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the MEAUX weather station, 10.7 km away at 67 m; the village itself is at 51 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at MOUROUX_SAPC, 11 km away at 148 m, over 15 summers. [9]

That station sits 97 m above 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 718 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at CRECY-LA-CHAP., 0.2 km away at 52 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

228 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 316,000 € — 2,179 € per m² of built surface. [10]

101 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 149,000 € — 3,256 € per m². [10]

The median across Seine-et-Marne is 2,667 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Crécy-la-Chapelle'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.
