Vitality score
Vitality score 47.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 63 % of the 9,632 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
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. [10]
Measured at the TUPIN-ET-SEMONS weather station, 9.6 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 158 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at SOUCIEU, 19.3 km away at 367 m, over 24 summers. [10]
That station sits 209 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 829 mm of rain a year, spread over 101 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at AMPUIS, 6.3 km away at 157 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
51 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 287,500 € — 1,641 € per m² of built surface. [11]
71 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 169,350 € — 2,427 € per m². [11]
The median across Rhône is 3,334 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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 Saint-Romain-en-Gal'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.
