Vitality score
Vitality score 48.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 92 % of the 17,698 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 58 days a year at or above 30 °C and 108 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the BEVONS weather station, 2.7 km away at 520 m; the village itself is at 556 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at SISTERON, 9.3 km away at 500 m, over 26 summers. [12]
That station sits 56 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,061 mm of rain a year, spread over 81 days — about 13.1 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BEVONS, 2.7 km away at 520 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Noyers-sur-Jabron'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.
