Vitality score
Vitality score 63.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 97 % of the 13,702 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 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the MURAT SUR VEBRE weather station, 10.5 km away at 1,022 m; the village itself is at 677 m. [9]
The village sits 345 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at MURAT SUR VEBRE, 10.5 km away at 1,022 m, over 22 summers. [9]
That station sits 345 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 1,455 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 12.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LA SALVETAT, 0.1 km away at 693 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
217 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 90,000 € — 1,333 € per m² of built surface. [10]
22 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 85,750 € — 789 € per m². [10]
The median across Hérault is 2,750 € 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 La Salvetat-sur-Agout'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.
