Vitality score

Vitality score 40.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 91 % of the 18,024 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

Days at or above 30 °C 39.1

Days at or below 0 °C 47.5

Muggy days a summer 1.7

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 39 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the VAISON LA ROMAINE weather station, 4.2 km away at 240 m; the village itself is at 240 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at PUYMERAS, 7 km away at 392 m, over 18 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 152 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 834 mm of rain a year, spread over 79 days — about 10.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ENTRECHAUX, 3.8 km away at 285 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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 Saint-Marcellin-lès-Vaison'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.
