Vitality score

Vitality score 32.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 45 % of the 15,180 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 at the WALTENHEIM-SUR-ZORN weather station, 8.8 km away at 252 m; the village itself is at 200 m. ^[12]

The village sits 52 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at WALTENHEIM-SUR-ZORN, 8.8 km away at 252 m, over 20 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 52 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 756 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ALTECKENDORF, 7.3 km away at 174 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

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. ^[13]
