Vitality score

Vitality score 55.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 32 % of the 1,784 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 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, 6.4 km away at 202 m; the village itself is at 225 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at LYON-BRON, 6.4 km away at 202 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 844 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at CORBAS, 4.3 km away at 195 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Mions'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.
