Vitality score
Vitality score 13.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 25 % of the 16,726 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the PHALSBOURG_SAPC weather station, 8.1 km away at 377 m; the village itself is at 318 m. [12]
The village sits 59 m below 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at PHALSBOURG_SAPC, 8.1 km away at 377 m, over 21 summers. [12]
That station sits 59 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 868 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at PHALSBOURG_SAPC, 8.1 km away at 377 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Waltembourg'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.
