Vitality score

Vitality score 48.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 74 % of the 11,441 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.

Population 704 (1990) → 1,537 (2023): 118.3 % over 30 years. ^[6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 659, of which 4.9 % second homes and 7.4 % vacant. ^[7]

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 2.5 km SW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Charvonnex): 0.4 km to the east (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Charvonnex): 0.4 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[8]

GP (Charvonnex): 0 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[8]

Pharmacy (Fillière): 2.5 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[9]

Primary school (Charvonnex): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 16.5

Days at or below 0 °C 74.7

Muggy days a summer 0.1

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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 75 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the GROISY_SAPC weather station, 4.1 km away at 670 m; the village itself is at 569 m. ^[10]

The village sits 101 m below 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. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at MEYTHET, 7.4 km away at 455 m, over 29 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 114 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,365 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at GROISY_SAPC, 4.1 km away at 670 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

46 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 547,725 € — 4,592 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

57 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 320,300 € — 4,637 € per m². ^[11]

The median across Haute-Savoie is 4,214 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Charvonnex'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.
