Vitality score

Vitality score 49.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).

Better served than 10 % of the 1,563 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

Market day: unknown — nothing found in the datasets or on the commune website.

Trajectory

1968: 4,932 2023: 15,604 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 13,599 (2012) → 15,604 (2023): 14.7 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 10,863 (1990) → 15,604 (2023): 43.6 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 6,659, of which 1.2 % second homes and 4.4 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmPharmacy — 1.3 km E (Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 1.3 km E Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Francheville): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Francheville): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [8]

GP (Francheville): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

Pharmacy (Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon): 1.3 km to the east (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Francheville): 0.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]

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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ST-GENIS-LAVAL weather station, 4.8 km away at 290 m; the village itself is at 245 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at BRINDAS, 6.1 km away at 317 m, over 20 summers. [10]

That station sits 72 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, 2.8 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

363 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 531,160 € — 4,023 € per m² of built surface. [11]

665 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 240,000 € — 3,796 € 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.

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Francheville'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.
