Vitality score

Vitality score 53.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 79 % of the 9,314 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.

Food shop (Candillargues): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). ^[8]

GP (Candillargues): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 16.6

Days at or below 0 °C 8.9▸

Muggy days a summer 14.4▸

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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 9 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the LA GRANDE MOTTE weather station, 7.2 km away at 2 m; the village itself is at 3 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 14 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at MARSILLARGUES, 8.2 km away at 4 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

An average of 649 mm of rain a year, spread over 63 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LUNEL, 7.1 km away at 6 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

84 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 356,775 € — 3,806 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

48 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 227,225 € — 3,436 € per m². ^[11]

The median across Hérault is 2,750 € per m², so this commune sits above it. ^[11]

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 Candillargues'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.
