Vitality score
Vitality score 12.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 16,630 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 80 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the FELON_SAPC weather station, 0.6 km away at 383 m; the village itself is at 391 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BELFORT, 11.3 km away at 422 m, over 16 summers. [11]
An average of 1,072 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at FELON_SAPC, 0.6 km away at 383 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
6 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 227,925 € — 1,540 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Territoire de Belfort is 1,598 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [12]
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 Felon'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.
