Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.

The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR), about 55.2km away.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.33% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 8.2km.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 1 places to eat within 5km.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.

Read automatically from the comune’s own website — soft signals of how active the local administration is, not a verdict. Some towns use a shared regional portal, so a quiet site doesn’t always mean a quiet town. See the methodology.

Schools & education
