Vitality score

Vitality score 11.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 16 % of the 17,149 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.

Where this sits nationally

Days at or below 0 °C 61.3

Muggy days a summer 0.8

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BERG weather station, 6.2 km away at 350 m; the village itself is at 303 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BERG, 6.2 km away at 350 m, over 21 summers. ^[11]

An average of 822 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BERG, 6.2 km away at 350 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 Ottwiller'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.
