Vitality score
Vitality score 36.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 40 % of the 12,321 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 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the SAINT JULIEN SUR REYSSOUZE weather station, 15.8 km away at 189 m; the village itself is at 203 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CEYZERIAT_SAPC, 18.3 km away at 260 m, over 18 summers. [11]
That station sits 57 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 918 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BAGE, 11.2 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Confrançon'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.
