Vitality score
Vitality score 59.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 75 % of the 4,383 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
Weekly market (reported, unverified): Thursday 7h à 13h Esplanade Cadichon. [5]
Trajectory
Population 4,851 (2012) → 5,383 (2023): 11 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 4,033 (1990) → 5,383 (2023): 33.5 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 2,712, of which 2.6 % second homes and 7.9 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Charbonnières-les-Bains): 0.5 km to the east (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Charbonnières-les-Bains): 0.7 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Charbonnières-les-Bains): 0.5 km to the east (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Charbonnières-les-Bains): 0.5 km to the east (straight line). [9]
Primary school (Charbonnières-les-Bains): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LIMONEST weather station, 6.4 km away at 365 m; the village itself is at 237 m. [10]
The village sits 128 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at BRINDAS, 8.3 km away at 317 m, over 20 summers. [10]
That station sits 80 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 826 mm of rain a year, spread over 105 days — about 7.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at TASSIN-MI-LUNE, 2.5 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
143 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 787,650 € — 3,962 € per m² of built surface. [11]
197 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 330,000 € — 4,627 € per m². [11]
The median across Rhône is 3,334 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]
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.
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 Charbonnières-les-Bains'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.
