Vitality score
Vitality score 59.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 72 % of the 2,987 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 48 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-M-D'HERES-GALOCHERE weather station, 6.5 km away at 220 m; the village itself is at 272 m. [10]
The village sits 52 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at VILLARD-DE-LANS, 13.6 km away at 1,027 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 755 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,354 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 11.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ENGINS, 5.7 km away at 877 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Seyssins'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.
