Vitality score
Vitality score 38.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 56 % of the 13,987 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 65 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the UHRWILLER_SAPC weather station, 15.8 km away at 217 m; the village itself is at 188 m. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at UHRWILLER_SAPC, 15.8 km away at 217 m, over 13 summers. [13]
An average of 864 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at SAVERNE, 7.4 km away at 206 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
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. [14]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5,6]

…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 Dossenheim-sur-Zinsel'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.
