Tufino, a young village on the edge of the Nola plain

Among the municipalities of the Naples metropolitan area, Tufino is one of the least populated. It lies in the Nola district, towards the first hills that close off the plain to the north-east. The land alternates fields, hazelnut orchards and small clusters of houses. Nola, with its services and shopping areas, is the reference point for almost everything.

People buying in Tufino are usually looking for a detached house or a small villa with a garden at lower prices than in the belt closer to Naples. Daily travel is by car, both to Nola and to the motorway junctions in the area. In houses built in stages, with floors added over time, check that the planning paperwork is in order before completion.

It is a very young village: the average age is 42.5, against 43.2 in a province that is already young, and over-65s are just 17.3%, against 20.0%. The number of residents has fallen, though: 3,367 in 2023, down 11.0% on 2011. Foreign residents are very few, 1.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

For earthquakes, Tufino is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like most municipalities in the metropolitan area, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.186 g in the built-up area. For a masonry or concrete building from the seventies, ask whether any structural work was done after the 1980 earthquake. Towards the hills, the report also checks the official landslide maps for the address.
