Vitality score

Vitality score 46.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 58 % of the 8,454 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.

In the commune Food shop, Primary school, GP Bakery — 0.8 km SWPharmacy — 1.1 km SW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Sathonay-Camp): 0.8 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]

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 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the CALUIRE weather station, 2.2 km away at 269 m; the village itself is at 286 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at LYON-BRON, 13.4 km away at 202 m, over 30 summers. [11]

That station sits 84 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]

An average of 820 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at CALUIRE, 2.2 km away at 269 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

68 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 587,550 € — 4,307 € per m² of built surface. [12]

43 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 262,500 € — 4,147 € per m². [12]

The median across Rhône is 3,334 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]

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.

Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Sathonay-Village'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.
