Vitality score
Vitality score 51.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 46 % of the 3,979 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CHAPET weather station, 6 km away at 42 m; the village itself is at 24 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CHAPET, 6 km away at 42 m, over 21 summers. [11]
An average of 605 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 5.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CHAPET, 6 km away at 42 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
246 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 701,425 € — 4,950 € per m² of built surface. [12]
147 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 250,000 € — 4,165 € per m². [12]
The median across Yvelines is 3,657 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]
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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Villennes-sur-Seine'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.
