Vitality score
Vitality score 20.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 59 % of the 16,342 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 136 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LAVALDENS weather station, 6.7 km away at 1,070 m; the village itself is at 1,115 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ALPE-D'HUEZ, 14.8 km away at 1,860 m, over 18 summers. [10]
That station sits 745 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 1,230 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 10.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LAVALDENS, 6.7 km away at 1,070 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Chantepérier'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.
