Foreign residents in Lacedonia
Lacedonia, in the province of Avellino, is home to 5 Russians — 0.25% of its 2,027 residents. That is the 163rd-highest concentration of Russians of any of the 5,872 Italian comuni with at least 1,000 residents, and 5th within Campania.

Separately, ISTAT's census data shows 9.3% of Lacedonia's population was born outside Italy — 6.8% outside the EU and 2.5% elsewhere in the EU. ISTAT does not publish this broken down by specific country at comune level, so it isn't directly comparable to the per-nationality citizenship figures above.

Tax regimes
Lacedonia qualifies for the 7% pensioner regime. Comfortably below the 30,000-resident ceiling.
Qualifying is about the town. Whether it applies to you depends on criteria no map can check — where you were tax-resident before, and where your income comes from.
How the 7% pensioner regime works, and every qualifying comune →Property prices
Buying in Lacedonia is well below the Avellino average of €693/m². Averaged across 3 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.
19.6 years of rent here equal the purchase price — below the national median of 22.2 years.
A ratio between two OMI prices, not a return on investment. It leaves out purchase taxes, IMU, maintenance, financing and the months a place sits empty — all of which push the real figure up. Useful for the question it does answer: whether this town looks expensive to buy relative to what renting in it costs.
Housing here in excellent condition costs 21% more than ordinary condition — €532/m² against €442.
That gap is what the market charges for a place you don’t have to work on. It is not what the work would cost you — OMI prices property, not builders.
A detached house here averages €496/m², against €442 for an apartment.
Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighbourhood — a house costs 13% more per square metre.
OMI prices “Ville e Villini” separately from the apartments every other figure on this page describes. Nationally a house costs about 14% more per square metre, but in 450 comuni it costs less — worth checking rather than assuming.
