Vitality score
Vitality score 19.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 64 % of the 15,019 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 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 96 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the MENS weather station, 5.6 km away at 780 m; the village itself is at 766 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at LA MURE- RADOME, 17.8 km away at 885 m, over 21 summers. [12]
That station sits 119 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 1,248 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 11.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ST-MAURICE-EN-TRIEVES, 4.8 km away at 1,050 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 Prébois'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.
