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. - Transalpina DN67C: south or north gate, segments, measured times, 2026 rules (https://mariuscomper.uk/transalpina/en/) How to drive Transalpina: Novaci or Sebes by base, 134.7 km / 3h39 traverse with no stops, measured segments, Ranca–Curpat 30 km/h, closed at night. - Transfagarasan: Is It Open?

A map of every village over 13 years, and why the official count of rural schools (−76%) does not mean as many schools closed. - 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 - Dintr-un Lemn Monastery (The Single-Oak Church) - Urdele Pass, Transalpina - Urdele Pass, Transalpina ## What the county data measures Measure | Value | Period and meaning Median age of the population by domicile ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/varsta-localitatii/en/) | 48.6 years | 2026Half the population registered by domicile is younger, half older.
