Mairago, farmsteads and irrigated fields of the Lodi plain

Mairago is a village in the Lodigiano, on the irrigated plain south-east of Lodi, among farmsteads, irrigation channels and fields of maize and fodder. The land is flat, at around 70 metres, and the landscape is that of the large Lombard farm courtyards, some still working and others converted into homes.

Lodi is the town for services and secondary schools, and trains to Milan leave from there; it is a short drive away. Buyers find small villas, terraced houses and flats in converted farm courtyards, with more space than in the nearby towns. Before buying in a courtyard, get clarity on shared areas, access rights and easements.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,375 residents in 2023, slightly down (1.6%) on 2011. The average age is 44.4, lower than the provincial 45.4, and over-65s make up 20.8%. Foreign residents account for 7.9%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial average.

All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3, and in Mairago the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.074 g. In old courtyards the weak points are usually roofs, brick walls and timber floors; for recent buildings, ask for the structural design.

With irrigation channels everywhere, the report checks the address on the official flood maps. Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality.
