Vitality score

Vitality score 36.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 28 % of the 9,290 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

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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the BULLY weather station, 5.4 km away at 280 m; the village itself is at 408 m. [11]

The village sits 128 m above 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. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at ST-GERMAIN-L AR, 7.3 km away at 370 m, over 25 summers. [11]

An average of 717 mm of rain a year, spread over 97 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at BULLY, 5.4 km away at 280 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

94 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 355,635 € — 2,937 € per m² of built surface. [12]

21 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 178,345 € — 2,384 € 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 Sourcieux-les-Mines'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.
