Vitality score

Vitality score 59.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 77 % of the 4,051 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.

Market and village life

Trajectory

1968: 1,082 2023: 5,826 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 4,704 (2012) → 5,826 (2023): 23.9 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 2,116 (1990) → 5,826 (2023): 175.3 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 2,461, of which 1.1 % second homes and 5 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmPharmacy — 3.5 km SE (Poisy)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 3.5 km SE 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 (Sillingy): 0.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Sillingy): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]

GP (Sillingy): 0.2 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Sillingy): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 74 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the MEYTHET weather station, 5 km away at 455 m; the village itself is at 503 m. [10]

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

Humidity measured at MEYTHET, 5 km away at 455 m, over 29 summers. [10]

An average of 1,132 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at VAULX, 4.5 km away at 520 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

169 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 514,890 € — 4,689 € per m² of built surface. [11]

142 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 268,950 € — 4,416 € per m². [11]

The median across Haute-Savoie is 4,214 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Sillingy'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.
