Vitality score
Vitality score 42.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 50 % of the 10,394 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 95 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BITS.-LES-THANN weather station, 2.2 km away at 395 m; the village itself is at 371 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MARKSTEIN CRETE, 9.3 km away at 1,184 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 813 m above 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 1,327 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BITS.-LES-THANN, 2.2 km away at 395 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 Willer-sur-Thur'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.
