Vitality score

Vitality score 51.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 70 % of the 7,697 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

A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [5]

Trajectory

1968: 1,950 2023: 2,746 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 2,473 (2012) → 2,746 (2023): 11 % over 10 years. [6,1]

Population 1,927 (1990) → 2,746 (2023): 42.5 % over 30 years. [7,1]

Dwellings (2023): 1,218, of which 1 % second homes and 4.7 % vacant. [8]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmFood shop — 1.1 km NW (Givors)
In the commune Bakery, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Food shop — 1.1 km NW 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 (Loire-sur-Rhône): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [9]

Food shop (Givors): 1.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]

GP (Loire-sur-Rhône): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [9]

Pharmacy (Loire-sur-Rhône): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Loire-sur-Rhône): 0.1 km to the north-west (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 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the TUPIN-ET-SEMONS weather station, 10.1 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 162 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at SOUCIEU, 14.7 km away at 367 m, over 24 summers. [11]

That station sits 205 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 831 mm of rain a year, spread over 100 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at COMMUNAY, 5.7 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

101 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 268,000 € — 2,762 € per m² of built surface. [12]

41 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 172,800 € — 2,206 € per m². [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 Loire-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.
