Vitality score

Vitality score 58.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 89 % of the 8,495 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.

Where this sits nationally

An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 68 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the RIOZ weather station, 1.5 km away at 275 m; the village itself is at 263 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at RIOZ, 1.5 km away at 275 m, over 23 summers. [9]

An average of 1,160 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]

…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 Rioz'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.
