Vitality score
Vitality score 31.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 48 % of the 15,828 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 94 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CESSIEU weather station, 6.4 km away at 304 m; the village itself is at 472 m. [12]
The village sits 168 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at BOURGOIN, 9.2 km away at 358 m, over 20 summers. [12]
That station sits 114 m below 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 1,012 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at CESSIEU, 6.4 km away at 304 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

The market day comes from DATAtourisme 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 Succieu'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.
