Vitality score
Vitality score 67.5/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 99 % of the 16,950 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.

A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [5]
Trajectory
Population 422 (2012) → 614 (2023): 45.5 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 478 (1990) → 614 (2023): 28.5 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 554, of which 35.2 % second homes and 5.1 % vacant. [8]

GP (Luc-en-Diois): 0.2 km to the west (straight line). [11]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 40 days a year at or above 30 °C and 94 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the LUC-EN-DIOIS weather station, 0.4 km away at 537 m; the village itself is at 563 m. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at BELLEGARDE-EN-D, 8.8 km away at 1,017 m, over 21 summers. [13]
That station sits 454 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 920 mm of rain a year, spread over 97 days — about 9.5 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at LUC-EN-DIOIS, 0.4 km away at 537 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
What property sold for
51 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 155,000 € — 1,772 € per m² of built surface. [14]
7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 240,000 € — 1,261 € per m². [14]
The median across Drôme is 2,174 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [14]
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 Luc-en-Diois'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.
