Vitality score
Vitality score 59/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 47 % of the 1,858 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 53 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ALTHEN weather station, 5.6 km away at 35 m; the village itself is at 42 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CARPENTRAS, 7.4 km away at 98 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 56 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 638 mm of rain a year, spread over 64 days — about 10 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ALTHEN, 5.6 km away at 35 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Monteux'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.
