Vitality score
Vitality score 25.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 54 % of the 17,978 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 84 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CERNON weather station, 8.3 km away at 500 m; the village itself is at 452 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST JULIEN - SA, 9.1 km away at 361 m, over 29 summers. [11]
That station sits 91 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,446 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ARINTHOD, 4.2 km away at 445 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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-Hymetière-sur-Valouse'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.
