Vitality score
Vitality score 17.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 68 % of the 12,697 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 59 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the VERNOUX weather station, 3.6 km away at 561 m; the village itself is at 593 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at VERNOUX SA, 4.7 km away at 510 m, over 20 summers. [9]
That station sits 83 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,190 mm of rain a year, spread over 99 days — about 12 mm on a day it rains. [9]

…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-Julien-le-Roux'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.
