Vitality score
Vitality score 53.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: low (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette); sources disagree on Pharmacy).
Better served than 53 % of the 3,605 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.

Weekly market (reported, unverified): Friday matin Place de l'Eglise. [5]
Trajectory
Population 6,019 (2012) → 6,614 (2023): 9.9 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 5,609 (1990) → 6,614 (2023): 17.9 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 3,140, of which 1.2 % second homes and 8.9 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Loriol-sur-Drôme): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Loriol-sur-Drôme): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). [9]
GP (Loriol-sur-Drôme): 0.2 km to the west (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 43 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LIVRON weather station, 4.8 km away at 98 m; the village itself is at 114 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LIVRON, 4.8 km away at 98 m, over 22 summers. [10]
An average of 915 mm of rain a year, spread over 85 days — about 10.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LIVRON, 4.8 km away at 98 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
293 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 220,000 € — 1,957 € per m² of built surface. [11]
73 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 135,000 € — 1,468 € per m². [11]
The median across Drôme is 2,174 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]
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.
Uncertainties
sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)
sources disagree on Pharmacy
The market day comes from the commune's own website 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 Loriol-sur-Drôme'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.
