Vitality score

Vitality score 32.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 17 % of the 9,623 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the CHATTE_SAPC weather station, 6.4 km away at 272 m; the village itself is at 240 m. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at CHATTE_SAPC, 6.4 km away at 272 m, over 18 summers. [12]

An average of 958 mm of rain a year, spread over 106 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at CHATTE_SAPC, 6.4 km away at 272 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

What property sold for

89 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 213,500 € — 1,840 € per m² of built surface. [13]

14 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 135,900 € — 1,566 € per m². [13]

The median across Isère is 2,542 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]

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 Saint-Hilaire-du-Rosier'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.
