Vitality score
Vitality score 65.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 90 % of the 3,256 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
An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 17 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the VILLENEUVE-LES-MAG-INRAE weather station, 6.2 km away at 20 m; the village itself is at 37 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 18 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at VILLENEUVE-LES-MAG-INRAE, 6.2 km away at 20 m, over 11 summers. [9]
An average of 572 mm of rain a year, spread over 58 days — about 9.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at VILLENEUVE-LES-MAG-INRAE, 6.2 km away at 20 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
336 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 333,000 € — 3,580 € per m² of built surface. [10]
137 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 180,000 € — 3,409 € per m². [10]
The median across Hérault is 2,750 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Fabrègues'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.
