Vitality score

Vitality score 42.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).

Better served than 29 % of the 6,792 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 68.3▸

Days at or below 0 °C 20.3

Muggy days a summer 18.9▸

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 68 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the ARGELIERS weather station, 6.3 km away at 31 m; the village itself is at 17 m. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 19 days a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at NARBONNE, 11.9 km away at 110 m, over 30 summers. ^[9]

That station sits 93 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[9]

An average of 587 mm of rain a year, spread over 62 days — about 9.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at ARGELIERS, 6.3 km away at 31 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

…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 Sallèles-d'Aude'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.
