Mogoro, carpets and nuraghi between Campidano and Marmilla

Mogoro's name is linked to carpets: the town has a long weaving tradition and for decades has hosted a fair devoted to Sardinian arts and crafts. It lies in the southern part of the province of Oristano, where the Campidano plain meets the hills of the Marmilla, and its territory includes the Cuccurada nuraghe, one of the Bronze Age stone towers typical of Sardinia. The Carlo Felice highway, the island's main road between Cagliari and Sassari, passes close by.

It is a farming and craft town, one of the larger ones in the province, with services also used by nearby villages. House hunters will find traditional Campidano houses built around a courtyard, often of mud brick or stone, next to detached and more recent houses. In older homes, check for damp in the walls and the state of the roof and systems. The climate is mild (climate zone C), with hot summers. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 3,869 residents, down 11.1% from 4,354 in 2011. The population is old: an average age of 50.2 against 49.8 in the province, and over-65s at 30.6%. Foreign residents are very few, 0.8%.

Earthquakes are not a significant issue: all 87 municipalities in the province of Oristano are in seismic zone 4, the lowest, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.050 g. Maintenance and the general condition of the building matter more.

In intense rain, the streams running from the hills to the plain can burst their banks. The report reads the official flood and landslide maps for the address and, using the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, finds the plot.

Key points

  • Sardinian weaving town between Campidano and Marmilla.
  • 3,869 residents, down 11.1% since 2011.

Overview

Mogoro is a municipality in the province of Oristano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 3,869 residents, among the most populous in the province (8 of 87).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mogoro 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 11.1%. The estimated average age is 50 years, in line with the province. 31% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 0.8% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Mogoro declared an average taxable income of 17,524 euros, below the provincial average (19,764 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Mogoro is in climate zone C, with 1,124 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 November to 31 March, for up to 10 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 132 metres above sea level.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Mogoro: 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.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Mogoro are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

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 27 inhabited census areas in Mogoro. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 78 or more.
