Vitality score
Vitality score 53.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 90 % of the 14,556 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.

GP (Château-sur-Epte): 0.9 km to the west (straight line). [8]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BUHY weather station, 1.8 km away at 90 m; the village itself is at 45 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at WY-DIT, 15.5 km away at 126 m, over 22 summers. [10]
That station sits 81 m above 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 720 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BUHY, 1.8 km away at 90 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
51 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 195,000 € — 1,900 € per m² of built surface. [11]
9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 100,000 € — 1,965 € per m². [11]
The median across Val-d'Oise is 3,609 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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-Clair-sur-Epte'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.
