Vitality score
Vitality score 42.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 67 % of the 13,725 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.

Food shop (Saint-Thibaud-de-Couz): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Saint-Alban-de-Montbel): 7.5 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 76 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LAC AIGUEBELETTE weather station, 8 km away at 375 m; the village itself is at 509 m. [12]
The village sits 134 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at LAC AIGUEBELETTE, 8 km away at 375 m, over 17 summers. [12]
That station sits 134 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,424 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ST-CASSIN, 4.8 km away at 550 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
53 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 280,000 € — 2,669 € per m² of built surface. [13]
6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 130,380 € — 1,670 € per m². [13]
The median across Savoie is 2,827 € 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 Saint-Thibaud-de-Couz'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.
