Vitality score
Vitality score 5.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 2 % of the 15,268 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 90 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the GOUZON weather station, 8.2 km away at 378 m; the village itself is at 458 m. [9]
The village sits 80 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °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 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at AHUN LYCEE, 11.3 km away at 460 m, over 21 summers. [9]
An average of 868 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at PARSAC-GLAD, 3.4 km away at 440 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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-Dizier-la-Tour'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.
