Vitality score
Vitality score 55/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 81 % of the 8,348 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at BOURG ST MAURICE, 3.1 km away at 865 m, over 30 summers. [9]
An average of 989 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 8.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BOURG ST MAURICE, 3.1 km away at 865 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
48 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 421,732 € — 3,977 € per m² of built surface. [10]
109 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 255,000 € — 3,675 € per m². [10]
The median across Savoie is 2,827 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Séez'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.
