Vitality score
Vitality score 29.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 12,976 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.

Bakery (Friaucourt): 2.3 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Ault): 1.7 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Friaucourt): 2.3 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Saint-Quentin-la-Motte-Croix-au-Bailly): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CAYEUX-SUR-MER weather station, 13.6 km away at 4 m; the village itself is at 105 m. [11]
The village sits 101 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 CAYEUX-SUR-MER, 13.6 km away at 4 m, over 18 summers. [11]
That station sits 101 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 889 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at VAUDRICOURT, 8.2 km away at 58 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
91 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 145,000 € — 1,403 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Somme is 1,471 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Saint-Quentin-la-Motte-Croix-au-Bailly'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.
