Vitality score
Vitality score 26.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 41 % of the 16,950 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.

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. [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 Steinseltz'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.
