Cagliari safety and resilience
Read Cagliari through the street, Pirri's flood plan, and the exact home
The current catalog does not publish a composite safety score for Cagliari. The 2023 Cagliari province and metropolitan figures list 0.4 intentional-homicide reports, 3.0 other fatal-crime reports, 77.5 residential-burglary reports, 34.7 pickpocketing reports, and 21.7 robbery reports per 100,000. These are broader-area figures, so use them to form questions rather than label every neighborhood.
Cagliari Local Police covers road, commercial, environmental, construction, tax, judicial, and public-security work. The Pirri emergency plan and January 2026 alerts make hydrogeological risk concrete, including flood precautions and coastal-storm warnings. The current 22.7% nearby-area flood screen warrants property-level checks for drainage, lower rooms, road access, power, insurance, and a route to a safe place.

Cagliari in everyday life
Could Cagliari work for you?
What may work well
- Cagliari publishes local police, Pirri emergency, flood-alert, and Sardinia 112 information.
- The safety questions are specific enough to guide a property and route review.
- A large city park, wetland, healthcare network, and airport give households several locations to plan around.
What to think about
- The composite safety score is not available, and the named crime figures cover broader geography.
- A 22.7% nearby-area flood screen makes drainage, lower rooms, insurance, power, and road access important.
- Street shade, slope, traffic, property entry, and weather warnings can change ordinary independence by neighborhood.
Give the Cagliari home a specific resilience plan
Walk the route day and night
Repeat routes to care, groceries, pharmacy, CTM, park, culture, and property entry. Check lighting, traffic, shade, stairs, gates, locks, activity, and the final approach.
Review flood and drainage
Use Pirri and municipal hazard information, then inspect grade, drains, lower rooms, roof, power, road access, insurance, and a route to a dry destination.
Learn the 112 plan
Save Sardinia's free 112 service, local police, preferred hospital, property access details, language needs, emergency contacts, and backup transport.
Prepare for heat and storms
Keep cooling, water, medicines, food, phone power, weather alerts, transport alternatives, and a person who can check in when conditions change.
Questions retirees ask
Is Cagliari safe for retirement?
The current catalog does not publish a composite safety score, and the available crime figures cover broader Cagliari geography. Visit the actual street and review lighting, traffic, flood, property entry, emergency access, and the route home.
What crime information is available?
The 2023 province and metropolitan figures list 0.4 intentional-homicide reports, 3.0 other fatal-crime reports, 77.5 residential burglaries, 34.7 pickpocketing, and 21.7 robberies per 100,000. They are broader-area records, not a personal-risk grade.
Why is Pirri important in a home search?
Cagliari maintains a specific hydrogeological and weather emergency plan for Pirri, and January 2026 alerts included flood precautions and coastal-storm warnings. Review the exact property, drainage, lower rooms, road, power, and insurance.
What is the emergency number?
Sardinia's official information identifies 112 as a free number that can be used without SIM or credit and routed to health, fire, police, or coast-guard services, with approximate mobile localization and interpretation.
Cagliari's safety decision is made at the address and route level. Use the municipal emergency information, walk after dark, review Pirri and flood exposure, and choose a home with drainage, power, access, insurance, and a clear 112 plan.
