Better served than 11 % of the 14,087 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MULHOUSE, 7.6 km away at 245 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 89 m below 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 856 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[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]
