Vitality score
Vitality score 33.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 65 % of the 17,255 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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the VERNON weather station, 5.4 km away at 128 m; the village itself is at 111 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at LA FERRIERE AIROUX_SAPC, 17.1 km away at 122 m, over 12 summers. [12]
An average of 809 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at VERNON, 5.4 km away at 128 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
29 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 158,000 € — 872 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Vienne is 1,168 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]
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 Dienné'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.
