Vitality score
Vitality score 17.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 13,414 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 73 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the PESMES - SA weather station, 6.6 km away at 196 m; the village itself is at 209 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at PESMES - SA, 6.6 km away at 196 m, over 16 summers. [12]
An average of 892 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at PESMES - SA, 6.6 km away at 196 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
8 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 111,000 € — 919 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Haute-Saône is 990 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [13]
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 Vadans'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.
