Vitality score
Vitality score 90.5/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 76 % of the 173 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.

…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 Mulhouse'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.
