Vitality score

Vitality score 35.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 43 % of the 13,188 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.

An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 75 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at BUHL-LORRAINE, 0.7 km away at 258 m, over 13 summers. ^[12]

An average of 815 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

What property sold for

No price figures: this département keeps the livre foncier rather than the cadastre, so its transactions are not published in DVF at all. ^[13]

…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 Buhl-Lorraine'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.
