Vitality score
Vitality score 29.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 64 % of the 17,969 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
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 82 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BAUDEMONT_SAPC weather station, 1.8 km away at 337 m; the village itself is at 351 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BAUDEMONT_SAPC, 1.8 km away at 337 m, over 15 summers. [11]
An average of 1,005 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BAUDEMONT_SAPC, 1.8 km away at 337 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
45 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 85,000 € — 872 € per m² of built surface. [12]
6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 72,000 € — 364 € per m². [12]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.

…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 La Chapelle-sous-Dun'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.
