Vitality score

Vitality score 53.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 77 % of the 8,370 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

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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the GUEBWILLER weather station, 6.5 km away at 273 m; the village itself is at 220 m. [10]

The village sits 53 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. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at COLMAR-MEYENHEIM, 9.6 km away at 207 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 920 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at GUEBWILLER, 6.5 km away at 273 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

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. [11]

Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Ungersheim'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.
