Vitality score
Vitality score 18.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 11,611 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 65 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the RIMPLAS_SAPC weather station, 7.2 km away at 1,130 m; the village itself is at 1,380 m. [11]
The village sits 250 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at PEONE, 9.6 km away at 1,784 m, over 22 summers. [11]
That station sits 404 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 875 mm of rain a year, spread over 77 days — about 11.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST-SAUVEUR-SUR-TINEE, 4.3 km away at 487 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 Roubion'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.
