Vitality score
Vitality score 55.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 96 % of the 16,966 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.

GP (Saulce-sur-Rhône): 2.8 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 45 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MARSANNE weather station, 6.8 km away at 280 m; the village itself is at 189 m. [11]
The village sits 91 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LIVRON, 10.6 km away at 98 m, over 22 summers. [11]
That station sits 91 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 955 mm of rain a year, spread over 89 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MARSANNE, 6.8 km away at 280 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
32 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 260,800 € — 2,201 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Drôme is 2,174 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [12]
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 Mirmande'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.
