Vitality score
Vitality score 31.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 18,079 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 85 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MIRECOURT weather station, 12.1 km away at 265 m; the village itself is at 315 m. [10]
The village sits 50 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MIRECOURT-INRAE, 13.2 km away at 289 m, over 21 summers. [10]
An average of 988 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at NOMEXY, 6.4 km away at 290 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Évaux-et-Ménil'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.
