Vitality score
Vitality score 61.7/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 2,615 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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ST-GENIS-LAVAL weather station, 3.6 km away at 290 m; the village itself is at 312 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BRINDAS, 3.8 km away at 317 m, over 20 summers. [11]
An average of 772 mm of rain a year, spread over 101 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST-GENIS-LAVAL, 3.6 km away at 290 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
297 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 529,650 € — 4,318 € per m² of built surface. [12]
195 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 263,650 € — 4,045 € 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 Chaponost'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.
