Vitality score

Vitality score 14.5/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 11 % of the 17,875 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.

No food shop, school, café or restaurant in the commune. [3,4]

Not counted, because the business register records them as closed: 1 × Hairdresser.

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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 77 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]

Measured at the ETOBON weather station, 5.2 km away at 425 m; the village itself is at 381 m. [13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [13]

Humidity measured at VILLERSEXEL SA, 16.1 km away at 290 m, over 30 summers. [13]

That station sits 91 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]

An average of 1,280 mm of rain a year, spread over 149 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [13]

Rainfall measured at ETOBON, 5.2 km away at 425 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

What property sold for

25 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 143,100 € — 572 € per m² of built surface. [14]

The median across Haute-Saône is 990 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [14]

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 Lomont'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.
