Separately, ISTAT's census data shows 3.8% of Pozzuoli's population was born outside Italy — 3.0% outside the EU and 0.7% 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.

Property prices

To buy

1,836 /

To rent

6.59 /m²/month

About the Napoli average of €1,891/m². Averaged across 18 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.

Buy or rent

23.2 years of rent here equal the purchase price, close to 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.

House or apartment

A detached house here averages 1,946/m², against €1,836 for an apartment.

Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighbourhood — a house costs 5% 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.
