Vitality score
Vitality score 52/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 90 % of the 15,174 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 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, 3.6 km away at 240 m; the village itself is at 258 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at PUYMERAS, 3.9 km away at 392 m, over 18 summers. [11]
That station sits 134 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 758 mm of rain a year, spread over 73 days — about 10.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at VAISON LA ROMAINE, 3.6 km away at 240 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-Romain-en-Viennois'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.
