Vitality score

Vitality score 47.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 16 % of the 2,444 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmGP — 0.8 km W (Grigny-sur-Rhône)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 0.8 km W 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 (Grigny-sur-Rhône): 0.3 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]

Food shop (Grigny-sur-Rhône): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]

GP (Grigny-sur-Rhône): 0.8 km to the west (straight line). [9]

Pharmacy (Grigny-sur-Rhône): 0.3 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Grigny-sur-Rhône): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [9]

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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ST-GENIS - COIN weather station, 6.5 km away at 275 m; the village itself is at 187 m. [10]

The village sits 88 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 7 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at SOUCIEU, 9.9 km away at 367 m, over 24 summers. [10]

That station sits 180 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 831 mm of rain a year, spread over 100 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at COMMUNAY, 3.9 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

Uncertainties

sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)

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 Grigny-sur-Rhône'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.
