Nughedu Santa Vittoria, hills above Lake Omodeo
Inland in the province of Oristano, on high ground looking towards Lake Omodeo, Nughedu Santa Vittoria is a hill village at about five hundred metres. Around it are woods, pastures and sloping fields; the centre is small and compact, with stone houses and narrow streets. Oristano, the reference town for offices, hospitals and secondary schools, is reached by car heading down to the plain.
Buyers here are looking for peace and space, often a family house that needs work. The things to check are those typical of stone houses in inland Sardinia: walls and damp, the roof, windows, wiring and plumbing. The report measures the distance from the address to the pharmacy, school and shops, and checks the elevation and slope of the plot.
In 2023 there were 425 residents, down 16.3% from 508 in 2011. It is an older population: an estimated average age of 53.8 against 49.8 for the province, and over-65s at 36.5% against 29.5%. Foreign residents are very few, at 0.9%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
Earthquakes are not a particular concern: all 87 municipalities in the province of Oristano are in seismic 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. The ground matters more: on slopes and along watercourses, landslide or flood hazard is checked on the official maps for the exact spot.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps for Nughedu Santa Vittoria, so from the address the report finds the land parcel and building.
