Vitality score
Vitality score 40.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 16,065 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the REVENTIN weather station, 17.3 km away at 295 m; the village itself is at 391 m. [13]
The village sits 96 m above 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. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at REVENTIN, 17.3 km away at 295 m, over 21 summers. [13]
That station sits 96 m below 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 908 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 8.8 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at BEAUREPAIRE, 5.5 km away at 288 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

…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 Moissieu-sur-Dolon'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.
