Andria, big households below the Murgia plateau
Andria is the most populous of the three joint capitals of the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani, established in 2004. It lies inland in Puglia, between the Adriatic coast and the Murgia plateau, in countryside planted with olive groves and vineyards. Within its boundaries stands Castel del Monte, Frederick II's octagonal castle and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Andria is also the home of burrata, one of Puglia's best-known cheeses.
The figures describe a young town of large households. The average household has 2.64 people, high for Italy today; the estimated average age is about 43 and a half, and only 19.9% of residents are over 65, against 24.2% for Puglia. Foreign nationals make up 1.9%. In 2023 Andria had 96,941 residents, 3.1% fewer than the 100,052 of 2011, so it has slipped below the hundred-thousand mark. It accounts for 25.7% of the population of the province's 10 municipalities.
For families and anyone who relies on local services, Overture's open map data show rates in line with the province for education (67 sites), healthcare (49) and supermarkets (52), but fewer sports facilities (51) and cafés and restaurants (351) per resident. There are 29 officially registered pharmacies.
One detail of the seismic classification deserves attention. Andria is in zone 3, whereas seven of the ten municipalities in the province, Barletta among them, are in zone 2. Yet the expected ground acceleration estimated for Andria's built-up area, about 0.172 g, is higher than for neighbouring Barletta. The zone is an administrative label; for a building, what counts most is its age, structure and documented work.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the municipality, so the report finds the land parcel from the address. Landslide and flood risk cannot be summed up for the whole of Andria: it is checked at the precise location of the property.

- 96,941 residents in 2023, down 3.1% since 2011.

Overview
Andria is the capital of the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani, in Puglia. At the end of 2023 it had 96,941 residents, ranked 0 of 10 municipalities in the province. 26% of the province's residents live here.
Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Andria is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 3 of 10 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.172 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.
Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood risk changes from one street to the next, even within the same municipality: for this reason we do not summarise it as a single figure for the whole of Andria.
The report checks the exact address against the ISPRA national maps and tells you in plain words whether the building falls within an at-risk area. The official map is also available on IdroGEO.
House prices
We do not publish price tables by municipality. The report gives the minimum and maximum price per square metre for the address's zone, from the Revenue Agency's OMI valuations, with the reference half-year. It is a range for the zone, not the value of a specific home.
Population
Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 3.1%. The estimated average age is 44 years, in line with the province. 20% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 1.9% of the population. On average, a household has 2.6 members.
Services
In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Andria has 67 schools and 29 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 52 grocery shops and supermarkets, 49 healthcare facilities, 51 sports facilities and 7 parks and green areas.
This data is gathered from several providers: services may be missing or closed businesses may still appear. The report counts services within 500 metres and 1 kilometre of the address.
Public transport
We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.
Land registry
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps for Andria: the report finds the building's parcel, that is its sheet and parcel number, starting from the address.
