Vitality score
Vitality score 55.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 35 % of the 1,844 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 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LYON-BRON weather station, 4.5 km away at 202 m; the village itself is at 241 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LYON-BRON, 4.5 km away at 202 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 808 mm of rain a year, spread over 102 days — about 7.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LYON-BRON, 4.5 km away at 202 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
422 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 501,760 € — 4,486 € per m² of built surface. [11]
223 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 268,850 € — 4,369 € per m². [11]
The median across Rhône is 3,334 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Genas'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.
