Vitality score
Vitality score 47.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 79 % of the 14,027 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 58 days a year at or above 30 °C and 77 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the GOULT weather station, 3.7 km away at 175 m; the village itself is at 218 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BONNIEUX/PLAINE, 4.5 km away at 175 m, over 13 summers. [11]
An average of 772 mm of rain a year, spread over 67 days — about 11.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MENERBES, 3.5 km away at 252 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
115 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 679,273 € — 4,458 € per m² of built surface. [12]
9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 220,000 € — 3,529 € per m². [12]
The median across Vaucluse is 2,599 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]
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 Goult'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.
