Vitality score
Vitality score 30.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 63 % of the 17,953 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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 80 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the AUTUN weather station, 8.1 km away at 303 m; the village itself is at 357 m. [10]
The village sits 54 m above 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at AUTUN, 8.1 km away at 303 m, over 21 summers. [10]
That station sits 54 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,215 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ROUSSILLON EN MORVAN, 2.5 km away at 520 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
30 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 76,500 € — 785 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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 Celle-en-Morvan'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.
