Marudo, a growing village in the Lodi plain

Marudo is a small municipality on the plain in the western part of the province of Lodi, among irrigated fields, farmsteads and ditches. It has a compact centre and neighbourhoods of detached houses and small blocks of flats that have grown up in recent decades, chosen by families who work in Lodi, Pavia or the Milan area.

The growth shows in the figures: 1,763 residents in 2023, up 12.4% on 2011, or 195 more people. The population is younger than the provincial average, with an average age of 43.9 against 45.4 and over-65s at 20.1% against 22.6%. Households have 2.41 members on average and foreign residents make up 11.6%.

Buyers can choose between a recent detached house with a garden, a flat in a small block or a traditional courtyard house to restore. The village has 2 schools and 1 pharmacy; supermarkets and larger services are in nearby towns, reached by car. Winters are cold and foggy (climate zone E).

All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3, and in Marudo the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.070 g. For a courtyard house, it is worth having the foundations, walls and rising damp checked.

On irrigated farmland the risk to look at is water. The report for an address reads the official flood maps and finds the plot on the cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency.
