Vitality score
Vitality score 35.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 69 % of the 17,078 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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 73 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LA COTE ST ANDRE weather station, 14.7 km away at 346 m; the village itself is at 316 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at GRENOBLE-ST GEOIRS, 18.8 km away at 376 m, over 30 summers. [12]
That station sits 60 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 908 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 8.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BEAUREPAIRE, 6.4 km away at 288 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Marcollin'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.
