Vitality score

Vitality score 63.5/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 89 % of the 5,374 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.

Population 2,264 (1990) → 4,246 (2023): 87.5 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 10,139, of which 76.3 % second homes and 1.5 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 1.9 km NW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Fleury): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Fleury): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [8]

GP (Fleury): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). [8]

Pharmacy (Salles-d'Aude): 1.9 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Fleury): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

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 42 days a year at or above 30 °C and 11 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the NARBONNE-EGASSIAIRAL weather station, 10.9 km away at 5 m; the village itself is at 33 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 19 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at NARBONNE, 16.9 km away at 110 m, over 30 summers. [10]

That station sits 77 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 614 mm of rain a year, spread over 60 days — about 10.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at FLEURY, 0.5 km away at 19 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Fleury'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.
