Vitality score
Vitality score 74.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).
Better served than 86 % of the 1,186 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.

A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [5,6]

Population 15,564 (1990) → 20,244 (2023): 30.1 % over 30 years. [8,1]
Dwellings (2023): 11,918, of which 9.9 % second homes and 7 % vacant. [9]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [10]
Food shop (L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue): 0 km to the north-east (straight line). [10]
GP (L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue): 0.2 km to the east (straight line). [10]

Primary school (L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 66 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ISLE SUR SORGUE weather station, 2 km away at 64 m; the village itself is at 58 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CABRIERES D'AVIGNON, 10 km away at 142 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 84 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 656 mm of rain a year, spread over 64 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ISLE SUR SORGUE, 2 km away at 64 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
1,001 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 335,000 € — 3,435 € per m² of built surface. [12]
632 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 174,300 € — 3,241 € 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 L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue'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.
