Vitality score
Vitality score 47/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 46 % of the 6,718 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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the LES CARROZ weather station, 1.8 km away at 1,151 m; the village itself is at 506 m. [9]
The village sits 645 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CLUSES, 4 km away at 485 m, over 11 summers. [9]
An average of 1,581 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 11.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LES CARROZ, 1.8 km away at 1,151 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Magland'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.
