Vitality score
Vitality score 57.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 81 % of the 6,586 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 43 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MONTJOUX weather station, 3.1 km away at 491 m; the village itself is at 383 m. [10]
The village sits 108 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °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 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at BOURDEAUX, 8.6 km away at 432 m, over 22 summers. [10]
An average of 1,064 mm of rain a year, spread over 89 days — about 12 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MONTJOUX, 3.1 km away at 491 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
Uncertainties
sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)
The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Dieulefit'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.
