Vitality score
Vitality score 17.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 10,303 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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 108 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SANCEY-LE-GRAND weather station, 6.7 km away at 490 m; the village itself is at 716 m. [10]
The village sits 226 m above 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at SANCEY-LE-GRAND, 6.7 km away at 490 m, over 20 summers. [10]
That station sits 226 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,159 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at SANCEY-LE-GRAND, 6.7 km away at 490 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 La Grange'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.
