Vitality score
Vitality score 52.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).
Better served than 50 % of the 3,361 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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LE PLESSIS GASSOT weather station, 3.2 km away at 108 m; the village itself is at 127 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LE BOURGET, 6.7 km away at 49 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 78 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 731 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LE PLESSIS GASSOT, 3.2 km away at 108 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 Écouen'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.
