Vitality score
Vitality score 46.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 68 % of the 11,679 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 1 day a year at or above 30 °C and 90 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the THONON-INRAE weather station, 13.2 km away at 376 m; the village itself is at 944 m. [10]
The village sits 568 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at THONON-INRAE, 13.2 km away at 376 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 568 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 1,498 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 11.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BOEGE, 7.1 km away at 750 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
79 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 382,550 € — 3,225 € per m² of built surface. [11]
170 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 62,042 € — 2,706 € per m². [11]
The median across Haute-Savoie is 4,214 € 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 Habère-Poche'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.
