Casalnuovo di Napoli, a young town north-east of Naples
Casalnuovo di Napoli has one of the youngest populations in the province. The average age is 41.0 against 43.2, over-65s are just 15.6% and households average 2.76 people, according to Istat, the national statistics office. These figures explain the town's character: a place that grew fast to house families working in Naples and in local industry.
The municipality lies on the plain north-east of Naples, between Afragola and Pomigliano d'Arco, and is almost entirely built up. Besides the centre there are Tavernanova, Casarea and Licignano, once separate villages and now joined by roads and apartment blocks. Buyers mostly find flats in ordinary blocks or in gated residential complexes, largely built from the 1970s onwards. Circumvesuviana trains link the town with Naples.
There were 46,876 residents in 2023, down 3.6% since 2011, and foreign residents are few, at 1.5%. There are 46 schools, 0.98 per 1,000 residents, more than the provincial average, while healthcare facilities are scarce for a town this size: 0.23 per 1,000 residents against 0.60. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
Casalnuovo is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like 75 other municipalities around Naples, with an expected acceleration of about 0.169 g. For a flat, ask when the building was designed and whether structural checks have been made. In the Naples area it is also not unusual for a home to differ from what was authorised: enclosed verandas, lived-in attics, extra floors. Having a surveyor check the planning permits and floor plan before the preliminary contract avoids problems at completion.
The Revenue Agency publishes the land registry maps, and the report works from the address to the plot, with flood and landslide data for that spot.
