Vitality score
Vitality score 48.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).
Better served than 45 % of the 6,114 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.

Weekly market (reported, unverified): Tuesday, Thursday 8h00 à 12h30 Grand Place. [5]
Trajectory
Population 3,413 (2012) → 3,619 (2023): 6 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 1,402 (1990) → 3,619 (2023): 158.1 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 1,644, of which 3.2 % second homes and 6.3 % vacant. [8]

Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Canet): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Canet): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [9]
GP (Canet): 0.3 km to the west (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 56 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LE POUGET weather station, 3.3 km away at 70 m; the village itself is at 35 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST ANDRE DE SANGONIS, 7.1 km away at 86 m, over 20 summers. [11]
That station sits 51 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 696 mm of rain a year, spread over 64 days — about 10.9 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CANET, 1.5 km away at 46 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
216 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 271,050 € — 2,581 € per m² of built surface. [12]
16 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 128,500 € — 2,127 € per m². [12]
The median across Hérault is 2,750 € 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.
Uncertainties
sources disagree on Pharmacy
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Canet'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.
