Vitality score
Vitality score 53.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 79 % of the 9,135 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 90 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the CESSIEU weather station, 2.7 km away at 304 m; the village itself is at 414 m. [9]
The village sits 110 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at BOURGOIN, 9.8 km away at 358 m, over 20 summers. [9]
That station sits 56 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,012 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CESSIEU, 2.7 km away at 304 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
106 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 256,316 € — 2,216 € per m² of built surface. [10]
25 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 169,342 € — 2,506 € per m². [10]
The median across Isère is 2,542 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]
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-Victor-de-Cessieu'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.
