Vitality score
Vitality score 62.5/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 95 % of the 11,750 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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 88 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MONESTIER weather station, 0.6 km away at 806 m; the village itself is at 821 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LE GUA-NIVOSE, 11.5 km away at 1,646 m, over 20 summers. [11]
That station sits 825 m above 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 1,044 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MONESTIER, 0.6 km away at 806 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
54 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 197,850 € — 1,929 € per m² of built surface. [12]
16 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 98,900 € — 1,427 € per m². [12]
The median across Isère is 2,542 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Monestier-de-Clermont'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.
