Vitality score
Vitality score 35.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 68 % of the 16,876 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 90 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the BULLY weather station, 6.7 km away at 280 m; the village itself is at 528 m. [13]
The village sits 248 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. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at ST-GERMAIN-L AR, 9.8 km away at 370 m, over 25 summers. [13]
That station sits 158 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 876 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at MONTROTTIER, 4.4 km away at 630 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
Uncertainties
Two sources name market days with none in common. They may be separate markets in the same commune, or one may be out of date — all days are listed and none is treated as confirmed. [5,6]

…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 Saint-Julien-sur-Bibost'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.
