Carinaro, between Aversa and the Aversa Nord industrial area

In the countryside around Aversa, towns run into each other, and Carinaro is a good example. It borders Aversa, Teverola and Gricignano d'Aversa, and you move from one built-up area to the next without noticing. The land is flat, on the plain between Naples and Caserta, and heavily built on: almost half the municipal area is covered by buildings, roads and yards, a share you would expect in a city rather than a small town.

Much of that land belongs to the Aversa Nord industrial area, shared with neighbouring towns, with factories, warehouses and logistics firms. When buying a home, the position relative to this area and to the main through roads matters: a few blocks can make a big difference to lorry traffic and noise. Aversa, with its railway station and services, is a few minutes away.

There are 7,077 residents (2023), up 2.8% since 2011. The population is young even by the standards of the province of Caserta: an average age of 41.3 against 43.1, over-65s at 16.5%, and households of 2.68 people on average, larger than in central and northern Italy. Foreign residents make up 4.7%, and declared incomes are in line with the provincial average. In Overture Maps data, sport is the weak point, with 0.14 facilities per 1,000 residents against 0.62 in the province, while supermarkets are more common than average (0.99 against 0.74).

Carinaro is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like most of the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.134 g. Many houses in the area have grown one floor at a time: before buying, check that the plans, the certificate of habitability and any amnesty applications match what you see, and that added floors have been structurally inspected.

Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are available: the report starts from the address, reaches the land parcel and checks the local hazard maps.
