Vitality score
Vitality score 55/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 59 % of the 3,837 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.

Food shop (Saint-Quentin-Fallavier): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). [10]
GP (Saint-Quentin-Fallavier): 0.8 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]

Primary school (Saint-Quentin-Fallavier): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 40 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LUZINAY weather station, 11.9 km away at 310 m; the village itself is at 259 m. [11]
The village sits 51 m below 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BOURGOIN, 15.5 km away at 358 m, over 20 summers. [11]
That station sits 99 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 915 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LUZINAY, 11.9 km away at 310 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
261 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 257,000 € — 2,618 € per m² of built surface. [12]
33 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 174,000 € — 2,823 € per m². [12]
The median across Isère is 2,542 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Saint-Quentin-Fallavier'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.
