Vitality score

Vitality score 47.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 67 % of the 10,742 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.

Population 1,004 (1990) → 1,689 (2023): 68.2 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 760, of which 4.6 % second homes and 4.7 % 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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the TRAPPES weather station, 9.6 km away at 167 m; the village itself is at 158 m. [10]

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

Humidity measured at TRAPPES, 9.6 km away at 167 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 743 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at LE PERRAY, 7.1 km away at 174 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

101 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 507,000 € — 2,462 € per m² of built surface. [11]

29 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 225,300 € — 3,703 € per m². [11]

The median across Yvelines is 3,657 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Saint-Rémy-l'Honoré'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.
