Vitality score
Vitality score 40.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 16,876 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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 101 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-VALLIER-OBS weather station, 4.3 km away at 715 m; the village itself is at 998 m. [10]
The village sits 283 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST CEZAIRE SUR SIAGNE, 6.1 km away at 694 m, over 19 summers. [10]
That station sits 304 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 1,083 mm of rain a year, spread over 78 days — about 13.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST-VALLIER-OBS, 4.3 km away at 715 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
44 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 275,495 € — 1,955 € per m² of built surface. [11]
7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 113,000 € — 1,625 € per m². [11]
The median across Alpes-Maritimes is 4,054 € 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 Escragnolles'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.
