Vitality score
Vitality score 2.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 2 % of the 5,200 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 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 89 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the OLETTE weather station, 2.3 km away at 615 m; the village itself is at 925 m. [10]
The village sits 310 m above 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at VERNET LES BAINS, 11.3 km away at 630 m, over 18 summers. [10]
That station sits 295 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 550 mm of rain a year, spread over 75 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at OLETTE, 2.3 km away at 615 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
10 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 108,840 € — 1,436 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Pyrénées-Orientales is 2,334 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Canaveilles'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.
