Vitality score
Vitality score 29.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 92 % of the 14,851 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 47 days a year at or above 30 °C and 115 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [14]
Measured at the BEVONS weather station, 9.6 km away at 520 m; the village itself is at 639 m. [14]
The village sits 119 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [14]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [14]
Humidity measured at SISTERON, 15.1 km away at 500 m, over 26 summers. [14]
That station sits 139 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [14]
An average of 1,167 mm of rain a year, spread over 85 days — about 13.7 mm on a day it rains. [14]
Rainfall measured at CHATEAUNEUF-MIRAVAIL, 1.6 km away at 660 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [14]

…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-Vincent-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.
