Vitality score
Vitality score 40.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 68 % of the 14,796 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.

Population 632 (1990) → 930 (2023): 47.2 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 515, of which 11.1 % second homes and 9.3 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Chambost-Longessaigne): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Panissières): 3.3 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
GP (Panissières): 3.4 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Panissières): 3.4 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
Primary school (Chambost-Longessaigne): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ST-SYMPHORIEN-C weather station, 16.9 km away at 610 m; the village itself is at 542 m. [11]
The village sits 68 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LES SAUVAGES, 18.2 km away at 831 m, over 28 summers. [11]
That station sits 289 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 876 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MONTROTTIER, 8 km away at 630 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
59 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 144,350 € — 1,308 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Rhône is 3,334 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Chambost-Longessaigne'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.
