Vitality score
Vitality score 12.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 16,924 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ORVAL RAD weather station, 2.5 km away at 165 m; the village itself is at 212 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ORVAL RAD, 2.5 km away at 165 m, over 21 summers. [10]
An average of 735 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ORVAL RAD, 2.5 km away at 165 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
11 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 104,500 € — 832 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Cher is 956 € 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 Nozières'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.
