Suelli, wheat-growing hills in the Trexenta

The Trexenta is an area of gentle hills and wheat fields in southern Sardinia, and Suelli is one of its villages, at around 250 metres. The centre has old churches and low houses built around a courtyard, the traditional home of this countryside, while all around lie arable fields, pasture and some olive groves.

The courtyard house in the Campidano style is the centrepiece of the market: generous space, often a large gateway onto the street and service rooms at the back. Many have been renovated, others need work, and traditional walls need watching for damp and repairs done with suitable materials. The climate is mild, zone C. For the hospital, secondary schools and work, the reference is Cagliari, reached by car; the village has basic services. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 1,080 residents, 4.8% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 48.5, almost the same as the provincial 48.1, and 27.3% of residents are over 65. Foreign nationals are few, at 1.8%.

Like all 70 municipalities in the province, Suelli is in seismic zone 4, the least hazardous, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.050 g. In older houses the roof, the beams and damp in the walls matter more.

The report checks the official landslide and flood maps for the address, useful near the streams crossing the farmland. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality and show the plot, courtyard included.

Key points

  • Trexenta village among wheat-growing hills.
  • Traditional courtyard houses: check walls and damp.
  • All 70 municipalities in the province in seismic zone 4.
  • Population down 4.8% since 2011.

Overview

Suelli is a municipality in the province of Cagliari, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 1,080 residents, ranked 54 of 70 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Suelli 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 4.8%. The estimated average age is 49 years, in line with the province. 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 1.8% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Suelli declared an average taxable income of 18,197 euros, in line with the province (19,085 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Suelli is in climate zone C, with 1,350 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 256 metres above sea level.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Suelli is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Sardegna in 2022. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is low. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Suelli: 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 Suelli 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 8 inhabited census areas in Suelli. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 75 or more.
