Vitality score

Vitality score 87.4/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 72 % of the 266 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.

Market and village life

A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]

Population 74,176 (2012) → 76,572 (2023): 3.2 % over 10 years. [13,1]

Population 77,206 (1990) → 76,572 (2023): -0.8 % over 30 years. [14,1]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 km
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Saint-Maur-des-Fossés): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [16]

Food shop (Saint-Maur-des-Fossés): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). [16]

Primary school (Saint-Maur-des-Fossés): 0.4 km to the east (straight line). [16]

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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [17]

Measured at the ST-MAUR weather station, 0.8 km away at 48 m; the village itself is at 40 m. [17]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [17]

Humidity measured at ST-MAUR, 0.8 km away at 48 m, over 23 summers. [17]

An average of 663 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [17]

Rainfall measured at ST-MAUR, 0.8 km away at 48 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [17]

What property sold for

1,986 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 750,000 € — 7,340 € per m² of built surface. [18]

4,200 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 295,000 € — 5,586 € per m². [18]

The median across Val-de-Marne is 5,116 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [18]

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-Maur-des-Fossés'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.
