Vitality score

Vitality score 31.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 63 % of the 17,772 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

Days at or above 30 °C 27

Days at or below 0 °C 80.5

Muggy days a summer 1

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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CHAROLLES weather station, 8.8 km away at 309 m; the village itself is at 263 m. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at ST YAN, 18 km away at 242 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

An average of 904 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at PALINGES, 6.4 km away at 281 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

40 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 127,388 € — 1,125 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Saint-Aubin-en-Charollais'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.
