Vitality score
Vitality score 35.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 48 % of the 14,107 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 51 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the VINSOBRES weather station, 0.5 km away at 346 m; the village itself is at 296 m. [10]
The village sits 50 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 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at VINSOBRES, 0.5 km away at 346 m, over 25 summers. [10]
That station sits 50 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 775 mm of rain a year, spread over 76 days — about 10.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at VINSOBRES, 0.5 km away at 346 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
70 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 283,350 € — 2,290 € per m² of built surface. [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.

…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 Vinsobres'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.
