Vitality score
Vitality score 31.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 28 % of the 13,275 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.

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Sains-en-Amiénois): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Cagny): 5 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]
GP (Sains-en-Amiénois): 0 km to the east (straight line). [8]
Pharmacy (Boves): 5.4 km to the north-east (straight line). [10]
Primary school (Sains-en-Amiénois): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the COTTENCHY weather station, 5.2 km away at 34 m; the village itself is at 110 m. [11]
The village sits 76 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at AMIENS-GLISY, 7.5 km away at 60 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 50 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 641 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 5.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at COTTENCHY, 5.2 km away at 34 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
73 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 275,000 € — 2,016 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Somme is 1,471 € 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.

…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 Sains-en-Amiénois'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.
