Vitality score

Vitality score 50.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 84 % of the 13,790 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 24 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the PEAUGRES RAD weather station, 5.8 km away at 480 m; the village itself is at 134 m. [9]

The village sits 346 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at PEAUGRES RAD, 5.8 km away at 480 m, over 22 summers. [9]

That station sits 346 m above 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 766 mm of rain a year, spread over 92 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at PEAUGRES RAD, 5.8 km away at 480 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

78 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 127,625 € — 1,527 € per m² of built surface. [10]

28 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 99,150 € — 1,149 € per m². [10]

The median across Ardèche is 1,839 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]

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 Serrières'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.
