Vitality score
Vitality score 8.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 30 % of the 4,250 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BESSEY weather station, 9.3 km away at 593 m; the village itself is at 488 m. [11]
The village sits 105 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °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 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BESSEY, 9.3 km away at 593 m, over 23 summers. [11]
That station sits 105 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 879 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at NOLAY, 9.2 km away at 375 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
No price figures: fewer than five comparable sales were registered here between 2021 and 2025. A median of two sales is not a median. [12]
Uncertainties
No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Cussy-la-Colonne'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.
