Vitality score
Vitality score 70/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Supermarket).
Better served than 78 % of the 1,303 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]
Trajectory
Population 17,002 (2012) → 18,386 (2023): 8.1 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 15,688 (1990) → 18,386 (2023): 17.2 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 8,221, of which 1 % second homes and 6.7 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Le Pontet): 0.4 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Le Pontet): 0.4 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Le Pontet): 0.3 km to the east (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Le Pontet): 0.3 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
Primary school (Le Pontet): 0.5 km to the west (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 56 days a year at or above 30 °C and 19 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the GADAGNE weather station, 5.7 km away at 110 m; the village itself is at 23 m. [10]
The village sits 87 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at AVIGNON, 6.1 km away at 34 m, over 28 summers. [10]
An average of 684 mm of rain a year, spread over 64 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at JONQUERETTES, 5.5 km away at 58 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
610 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 220,000 € — 2,369 € per m² of built surface. [11]
638 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 98,000 € — 1,763 € per m². [11]
The median across Vaucluse is 2,599 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Le Pontet'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.
