Vitality score
Vitality score 35.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 38 % of the 12,085 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 69 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the UHRWILLER_SAPC weather station, 6.7 km away at 217 m; the village itself is at 271 m. [11]
The village sits 54 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at UHRWILLER_SAPC, 6.7 km away at 217 m, over 13 summers. [11]
That station sits 54 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 758 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at UHRWILLER_SAPC, 6.7 km away at 217 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
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. [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 Oberbronn'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.
