Vitality score
Vitality score 50.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 77 % of the 11,450 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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the ST-MAURICE-LES-COUCHES_SAPC weather station, 5 km away at 300 m; the village itself is at 238 m. [9]
The village sits 62 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at ST-MAURICE-LES-COUCHES_SAPC, 5 km away at 300 m, over 15 summers. [9]
That station sits 62 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 803 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ST-MAURICE-LES-COUCHES_SAPC, 5 km away at 300 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
96 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 145,250 € — 1,205 € per m² of built surface. [10]
6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 110,500 € — 696 € per m². [10]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [10]
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-Léger-sur-Dheune'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.
