Vitality score

Vitality score 23.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 23 % of the 16,250 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.

Days at or below 0 °C 70.3

Muggy days a summer 1.8

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the COLMAR-MEYENHEIM weather station, 2.7 km away at 207 m; the village itself is at 206 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at COLMAR-MEYENHEIM, 2.7 km away at 207 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

An average of 653 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at OBERENTZEN, 0 km away at 203 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

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. ^[12]

…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 Oberentzen'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.
