Mogorella, hills inland from Oristano

Mogorella is a small village in the interior of the province of Oristano, on the hills that rise from the Oristano plain towards the centre of the island. The built-up area sits at around 260 metres, with low houses, courtyards and quiet streets; around it are pastures, arable land and scrub. Oristano, for hospitals, offices, secondary schools and the railway station, is reached by car.

The climate is mild (climate zone C) and heating costs little. Typical houses are village homes with a courtyard, often built in stages, and a few older Campidano-style houses in stone or mud brick: in these cases damp in the walls and the state of the roof should be checked by a surveyor. For an inherited house, make sure the inheritance transfer and land registry records are up to date.

In 2023 there were 402 residents, down 13.2% from 463 in 2011. The estimated average age is 51.1, a little above the provincial 49.8, and over-65s make up 31.3%. Foreign residents account for 2.5% and households average 2.12 people. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard in Sardinia is low: all 87 municipalities in the province of Oristano are in zone 4 of the national classification kept by the Civil Protection Department, and here the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.050 g. Earthquakes are therefore not the main concern; build quality and maintenance matter more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes Mogorella's cadastral maps, and from the address the report finds the land parcel. Near the streams running down from the hills, flood hazard is checked on the official maps.

Key points

  • Hills inland from Oristano, mild winters.
  • All 87 municipalities in the province in seismic zone 4.
  • Population down 13.2% since 2011, now 402.
  • Mud-brick houses: check for damp and the roof.

Overview

Mogorella is a municipality in the province of Oristano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 402 residents, ranked 60 of 87 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mogorella is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 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 13.2%. The estimated average age is 51 years, in line with the province. 31% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 2.5% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 4 inhabited census areas in Mogorella. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 72 or more.
