Vitality score
Vitality score 14.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 17,841 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 126 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the THOARD weather station, 6.8 km away at 732 m; the village itself is at 735 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at DIGNE LES BAINS, 11.5 km away at 554 m, over 21 summers. [10]
That station sits 181 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 972 mm of rain a year, spread over 87 days — about 11.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at THOARD, 6.8 km away at 732 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 La Robine-sur-Galabre'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.
