Vitality score
Vitality score 19.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 36 % of the 18,024 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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BUHL-LORRAINE weather station, 6.1 km away at 258 m; the village itself is at 324 m. [10]
The village sits 66 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °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 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at BUHL-LORRAINE, 6.1 km away at 258 m, over 13 summers. [10]
That station sits 66 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 815 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BUHL-LORRAINE, 6.1 km away at 258 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
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. [11]
Uncertainties

…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 Guntzviller'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.
