Nuraminis and Villagreca, in the Campidano by the Carlo Felice

In the Campidano, the broad plain across southern Sardinia, Nuraminis lies north of Cagliari near the SS131 Carlo Felice, the island's main road. The municipality also includes the smaller hamlet of Villagreca, and a landscape of wheat fields, olive groves, vineyards and low hills. Most houses in the village are low with a courtyard, often built of mud brick or stone in the older parts.

For people working in Cagliari or its surroundings the location is convenient: the Carlo Felice takes you towards the city by car. Buyers find traditional Campidano houses with an inner courtyard, which need careful attention to damp, the roof and the wiring and plumbing, and newer detached homes on the edges of the village. The village has 3 schools and 2 supermarkets; for the hospital and larger services people go to Cagliari.

The population is shrinking and ageing. Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,328 residents (2023), down 10.7% from 2,606 in 2011. The average age is 50.0, above the provincial 48.1, and over-65s are 29.4% against 25.7%. Foreign residents make up 2.1%. Average incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquake risk in Sardinia is minimal: every municipality in the province is in seismic zone 4, the lowest in the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.050 g. For a house built in ladiri, the mud-and-straw brick typical of the Campidano, the checks are different: damp at the base of the walls, the state of the plaster and whether the roof is sound.

In low-lying areas and along the Campidano's streams, the report checks the official flood maps at the address. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available, so the report can find the land parcel from the address.

Key points

  • Campidano north of Cagliari, near the SS131 highway
  • The village and the hamlet of Villagreca
  • 2,328 residents, down 10.7% since 2011

Overview

Nuraminis is a municipality in the province of Cagliari, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 2,328 residents, ranked 34 of 70 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Nuraminis is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 70 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 10.7%. The estimated average age is 50 years, higher than the province average (48). 29% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 2.1% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Nuraminis declared an average taxable income of 17,895 euros, below the provincial average (19,085 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Nuraminis is in climate zone C, with 1,102 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 86 metres above sea level.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Nuraminis: 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 Nuraminis 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 13 inhabited census areas in Nuraminis. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 73 or more.
