# Argeș: places, data and stories Explore Argeș through projects about its places and county-level data. Then choose a town for its own profile. - Projects covering this county (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/places/county/arges/#proiecte) - Towns and communes (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/places/county/arges/#localitati) - Compare two places (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/compare-places/) - Download a county chart (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/reusable-charts/?county=arges) ## What you can explore here - The Empty House — 1 in 4 Dwellings Stands Empty (https://mariuscomper.uk/casele-goale/en/) The 2021 Census counts 2.53 million unoccupied dwellings — 25.5% of the housing stock. In Mehedinți 36.3% are empty. County map, breakdown and why the rural empty stock does not solve city rents. - Where was Vlad, really? (https://mariuscomper.uk/cetatea-poenari/en/) Bran said: not here. At the end of 1,480 concrete steps, on Mount Cetățuia at 850 metres, stands the fortress tradition and archaeology attribute to Vlad the Impaler: a 14th-century tower, a 15th-century building. Climb the steps in 3D, then grade the legends. - 100 places in Romania you won't find anywhere else in the world (https://mariuscomper.uk/o-suta-de-locuri-unice/en/) An interactive bilingual atlas of 100 singular places, natural anomalies, ice caves, archaic relics, and unique engineering in Romania with map and documented cards. - Carpathian Bears: The Libearty Sanctuary and Field Ethics (https://mariuscomper.uk/observare-ursi/en/) Compare visits to the Libearty sanctuary with bear-safety rules in Piatra Craiului National Park. The guide also gives a preliminary estimate from the 2025 survey and two routes from Brașov; wild sightings cannot be guaranteed. - Transfagarasan: Is It Open? Season Dates, Transalpina Too (https://mariuscomper.uk/transfagarasan/en/) Is the Transfagarasan open now? Opening and closing dates 2015–2026, Transalpina comparison, altitude profile, fuel, the Balea cable car, and what to do when it's closed. - Romanian villages left without a school, 2013–2026 (https://mariuscomper.uk/trei-din-patru/en/) Of 6,833 villages with a school on the Ministry of Education's 2013–14 list, 1,329 have none in 2025–26. A map of every village over 13 years, and why the official count of rural schools (−76%) does not mean as many schools closed. - 13 or 14? Peaks over 2,500 m in Romania (https://mariuscomper.uk/varfuri-peste-2500-romania/en/) Some lists say 13, others 14: both are right, but they apply different rules. A 3D map of the 14 candidates shows where the count breaks — Capul Morarului, next to Omu, and Dara, right on the line; flip the rule and the map, ranking and collection rewrite themselves. - How old is your town? (https://mariuscomper.uk/varsta-localitatii/en/) The median age of each of Romania’s 3,181 localities, computed from the registered population by single year of age (INS, POP107D), on a map with every real boundary. Search your locality, see how old it is against the country and the county, its age fingerprint in one hundred squares, its pyramid by sex and its path from 1992 to 2026. In 528 localities there are now more registered people aged 80 or over than children under 10; in 1992 there were 9. ## Places documented in the projects - Curtea de Argeș Monastery - Dara Peak - Corbii de Piatră Rupestral Monastery - Pitești Prison Memorial ('The Pitești Experiment') - Moldoveanu Peak - Piatra Craiului - Poenari Fortress - Cetățuia Negru Vodă Cliffside Hermitage ## What the county data measures Measure | Value | Period and meaning Median age of the population by domicile ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/varsta-localitatii/en/) | 46.5 years | 2026Half the population registered by domicile is younger, half older. Dwellings with no enumerated residents ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/casele-goale/en/) | 31.7% | 2021 censusOf conventional dwellings. This does not establish abandonment or availability. Geocoded villages with a listed school structure ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/trei-din-patru/en/) | 185 | 2025-26Counts villages in the analysed dataset, not schools or pupils. Periods and definitions differ. Each project explains its source, unit and data limitations. ## Choose your locality România ta profiles bring together nine calculated facts about each locality, with links to their sources. - Albeștii de Argeș (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/places/?loc=13819)Locality profile ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/romania-ta/en/l/13819/) -
