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 47.5km away.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 783 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 2.12% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A markedly older population — 37.7% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • 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

Schools in the comune1 nursery · 1 primary · 1 middle school

UniversityNearest: Università degli Studi della Basilicata · 35.3 km

School counts from the MIUR Anagrafe scuole (presence by level, not a ranking). Universities and conservatories/academies from the MIUR institution lists; nearby university presence from OpenStreetMap. A student presence often means more rentals and services.
