Then choose a town for its own profile. - Projects covering this county (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/places/county/gorj/#proiecte) - Towns and communes (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/places/county/gorj/#localitati) - Compare two places (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/compare-places/) - Download a county chart (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/reusable-charts/?county=gorj) 70 places · Gorj County ## How have the places in Gorj County changed? Median age of at least 45: 4 of 70 places in 1992, 51 of 70 in 2026. Click a place. Each circle is the seat of a commune, town or city, not every village. Median age by domicile: INS. Tropical nights (a minimum of at least 20 °C): the E-OBS grid of about 11 × 8 km, so neighbouring places can share a value. Map of the whole country (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/places/#harta-locurilor). ## 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. - 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. - Show caves Romania: Ialomita, Polovragi, Comarnic — 2026 fares and hours (https://mariuscomper.uk/pesteri/en/) Three caves with official fares: Ialomita (30 lei, all year), Polovragi (20 lei, daily), Comarnic (35 lei, Apr–Oct, min group 5). Hours and measured drives. - 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 - Brâncuși Ensemble - Parângu Mare Peak - Polovragi Cave - Polovragi Cave ## What the county data measures Measure | Value | Period and meaning Median age of the population by domicile ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/varsta-localitatii/en/) | 45.7 years | 2026 Half the population registered by domicile is younger, half older. Dwellings with no enumerated residents ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/casele-goale/en/) | 30.6% | 2021 census Of conventional dwellings. This does not establish abandonment or availability. Geocoded villages with a listed school structure ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/trei-din-patru/en/) | 137 | 2025-26 Counts 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. - Albeni (https://mariuscomper.uk/en/places/?loc=78472)profile ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/romania-ta/en/l/78472/) -
