Cheremule, a village in the Meilogu of northern Sardinia

Cheremule is a small village in the Meilogu, the hilly area inland in the province of Sassari. Around it are pastures, fields and hills of volcanic origin, typical of the Meilogu, and the land holds ancient remains such as domus de janas, prehistoric tombs cut into the rock that are found all over Sardinia. For work, hospital care and secondary schools, people drive to the larger towns of the province.

The area is in climate zone D, with winters milder than in the mainland mountains but with some cold, windy days. Houses in the village are mostly stone or masonry buildings on one or two floors, often with a courtyard. If you are buying from a distance, check for damp, look at the roof and wiring, and find out how the utilities are connected.

There were 393 residents in 2023, against 455 at the 2011 census, a fall of 13.6%. The estimated average age is 53.4, against 48.3 for the province, and over-65s reach 36.6%, above the provincial 26.6%. Households average 1.94 people and foreign residents are 4.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The earthquake picture is calm: Cheremule is in seismic zone 4 on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, like all 66 municipalities in the province of Sassari, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.050 g. In older houses, what counts most is upkeep of the walls and insulation.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Cheremule too, and the report traces the address back to its land parcel. Landslide hazard and flooding along watercourses are checked for the chosen plot on the official maps.

Overview

Cheremule is a municipality in the province of Sassari, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 393 residents, among the smallest in the province (61 of 66).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cheremule is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 66 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 13.6%. The estimated average age is 53 years, higher than the province average (48). 37% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 4.8% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Cheremule: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.
