Vitality score

Vitality score 67.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 65 % of the 1,127 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: 16,001 2023: 21,268 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 17,562 (2012) → 21,268 (2023): 21.1 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 14,829 (1990) → 21,268 (2023): 43.4 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 10,244, of which 3.9 % second homes and 7.4 % 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the VERSAILLES- INRAE weather station, 1.7 km away at 121 m; the village itself is at 138 m. [9]

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

Humidity measured at VERSAILLES- INRAE, 1.7 km away at 121 m, over 17 summers. [9]

An average of 677 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at VERSAILLES- INRAE, 1.7 km away at 121 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

230 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 512,500 € — 5,112 € per m² of built surface. [10]

1,011 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 225,000 € — 4,361 € per m². [10]

The median across Yvelines is 3,657 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Saint-Cyr-l'École'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.
