Vitality score
Vitality score 10.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 24 % of the 11,510 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 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 60 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BELMONT weather station, 5.4 km away at 1,065 m; the village itself is at 579 m. [11]
The village sits 486 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BELMONT, 5.4 km away at 1,065 m, over 18 summers. [11]
That station sits 486 m above 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 1,330 mm of rain a year, spread over 151 days — about 8.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BELMONT, 5.4 km away at 1,065 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 Solbach'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.
