Vitality score
Vitality score 47.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 82 % of the 14,821 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 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the COLOMBIER VIEUX SA weather station, 9.9 km away at 408 m; the village itself is at 133 m. [11]
The village sits 275 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at COLOMBIER VIEUX SA, 9.9 km away at 408 m, over 18 summers. [11]
That station sits 275 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 910 mm of rain a year, spread over 90 days — about 10.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at TOURNON, 7.2 km away at 118 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Vion'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.
