Vitality score

Vitality score 51.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 56 % of the 6,184 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.

Market and village life

Trajectory

1968: 1,707 2023: 3,573 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 3,067 (2012) → 3,573 (2023): 16.5 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 2,294 (1990) → 3,573 (2023): 55.8 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 1,615, of which 3.8 % second homes and 8 % vacant. [7]

In the commune Food shop, GP, Pharmacy Primary school — 0.5 km NEBakery — 2.3 km NE 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 (Plan-d'Orgon): 2.3 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Plan-d'Orgon): 0.3 km to the south-west (straight line). [8]

GP (Plan-d'Orgon): 0.2 km to the south-west (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 61 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the ST-ANDIOL weather station, 3 km away at 54 m; the village itself is at 69 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at EYGUIERES, 9.3 km away at 160 m, over 10 summers. [9]

That station sits 91 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]

An average of 675 mm of rain a year, spread over 63 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at ST-ANDIOL, 3 km away at 54 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

161 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 290,000 € — 2,697 € per m² of built surface. [10]

32 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 180,500 € — 2,149 € per m². [10]

The median across Bouches-du-Rhône is 3,856 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]

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 Plan-d'Orgon'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.
