Vitality score
Vitality score 35.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 31 % of the 11,104 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the THANN weather station, 5.6 km away at 338 m; the village itself is at 311 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MULHOUSE, 11.4 km away at 245 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 66 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 940 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at WATTWILLER, 1.9 km away at 371 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Uffholtz'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.
