Vitality score
Vitality score 54.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 56 % of the 3,763 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
An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ACHERES weather station, 6.1 km away at 31 m; the village itself is at 34 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ACHERES, 6.1 km away at 31 m, over 27 summers. [10]
An average of 663 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 5.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LE PECQ, 4.5 km away at 27 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
189 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 827,500 € — 6,487 € per m² of built surface. [11]
153 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 296,980 € — 4,358 € per m². [11]
The median across Yvelines is 3,657 € 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 Le Mesnil-le-Roi'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.
