Nughedu San Nicolò, a Logudoro village near Ozieri

Nughedu San Nicolò belongs to the Logudoro, in northern Sardinia, and its reference town is Ozieri, a short drive away, with secondary schools, a hospital and offices. The land is hilly, with pasture, fields and woodland, and the village is compact.

There were 725 residents in 2023, 17.0% fewer than in 2011 (Istat, the national statistics office). The average age is 50.7 against 48.3 in the province of Sassari, and over-65s make up 32.0%, above the provincial 26.6%. Households average 1.87 people and foreign residents account for 4.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Buyers will find stone village houses, often with a courtyard or small garden, and a few homes built in recent decades on the edge of the centre. The useful checks are practical: roof, damp in the walls, wiring and plumbing, insulation. Winters are cooler than on the coast and summers hot, so insulation pays off in both seasons. On the sloping streets the report reads elevation, gradient and the official landslide maps for each address.

On earthquakes the picture is calm: all 66 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4, the lowest, and the expected ground acceleration here is about 0.050 g.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover Nughedu San Nicolò, and the report traces the address to its land parcel.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Nughedu San Nicolò 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 zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
