Vitality score

Vitality score 39.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 25 % of the 7,137 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.

Market and village life

Population 1,750 (1990) → 2,989 (2023): 70.8 % over 30 years. [7,1]

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 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the CALUIRE weather station, 4.6 km away at 269 m; the village itself is at 232 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at LUCENAY, 14.9 km away at 255 m, over 20 summers. [11]

An average of 820 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at CALUIRE, 4.6 km away at 269 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

121 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 542,730 € — 4,556 € per m² of built surface. [12]

18 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 276,050 € — 3,987 € per m². [12]

The median across Rhône is 3,334 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.

…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 Cailloux-sur-Fontaines'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.
