Casandrino, a dense, young town north of Naples

Casandrino belongs to the tight ring of towns on the plain north of Naples, on the way towards Aversa. Its territory is small and almost entirely built up. Houses run straight into those of Grumo Nevano and Sant'Antimo, and you often cross from one municipality to the next without noticing. Many residents work in Naples or elsewhere in the northern suburbs and drive there every day.

What you will find on the market is mostly low-rise blocks and flats built over the last few decades, on narrow streets with little green space and scarce parking. Hospitals, public offices and many other services are in the neighbouring towns or in the city. Overture Maps, an open map database, lists 2 healthcare sites and 6 school sites here, fewer per resident than the provincial average, so the real distance from the address matters more than what the town has on paper.

The population is 13,069 (Istat, the national statistics office, 2023), down 1.7% since 2011. It is young even by the standards of the Naples area: an average age of 40.0 against 43.2 for the province, and 14.4% over 65 compared with 20.0%. Households are large, 2.81 people on average, and foreign residents make up 9.1%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Casandrino is in seismic zone 2, like 75 other municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.155 g. Before buying a flat in a block from the 1960s or 1970s, ask a surveyor to check planning compliance, meaning that the property matches its building permits, and ask the building manager whether the structure has ever been inspected.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps for the town, so the report traces the address to its land parcel and building.

Key points

  • Small, almost fully built-up town merging into its neighbours north of Naples.
  • Average age 40.0, households of 2.81 people on average.
  • Seismic zone 2, expected acceleration about 0.155 g.
  • Few healthcare sites in town: distance from the address is what counts.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Casandrino is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. Most municipalities in the province (76 of 92) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.155 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Casandrino, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
