Vitality score

Vitality score 51.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 8,656 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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the LAUTERBOURG SA weather station, 0.9 km away at 110 m; the village itself is at 117 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at LAUTERBOURG SA, 0.9 km away at 110 m, over 11 summers. [11]

An average of 763 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [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 Lauterbourg'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.
