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
  • Hospital care is close by — about 0.6km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), about 35.3km away.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.92% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 4 places to eat within 5km.

Counts show what’s mapped in OpenStreetMap within each ring. Where little is close, the nearest few are listed with an estimated drive time (a guide, not a measured route; typically ~1.5× the straight-line distance at rural speeds). Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
