Vitality score
Vitality score 41.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 12 % of the 4,023 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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 72 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the MONTBELIARD weather station, 2.8 km away at 318 m; the village itself is at 332 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at MONTBELIARD, 2.8 km away at 318 m, over 20 summers. [9]
An average of 1,072 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 7.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at MONTBELIARD, 2.8 km away at 318 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
172 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 151,000 € — 1,692 € per m² of built surface. [10]
149 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 66,500 € — 928 € per m². [10]
The median across Doubs is 1,815 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Grand-Charmont'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.
