Vitality score

Vitality score 42.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).

Better served than 19 % of the 5,290 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.

Market and village life

A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [6,7]

Trajectory

1968: 2,169 2023: 4,323 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 4,042 (2012) → 4,323 (2023): 7 % over 10 years. [8,1]

Population 3,466 (1990) → 4,323 (2023): 24.7 % over 30 years. [9,1]

Dwellings (2023): 1,987, of which 2.5 % second homes and 6.7 % vacant. [10]

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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]

Measured at the ST-DIDIER-RIVER weather station, 3.1 km away at 600 m; the village itself is at 493 m. [13]

The village sits 107 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. [13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [13]

Humidity measured at SOUCIEU, 10.6 km away at 367 m, over 24 summers. [13]

That station sits 126 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 847 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 7.9 mm on a day it rains. [13]

Rainfall measured at ST-DIDIER-RIVER, 3.1 km away at 600 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

…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 Chabanière'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.
