This phenomenon o owercroudin haes creatit a strang demographic imbalance an territorial wi the fower provinces in Campanie.

Tae get a clearer idea o its territorial limits, juist consider that the Neapolitan aurie is tae 96º place on 110 Italian provinces bi extension. Its aurie, 1,171&nbsp;km² includin islands, in fact it is smawer than the surface o the anerly toun o Roum (1,287&nbsp;km²).

The substrate o the municipalities varies widely, rangin frae 1.62 to 117.27&nbsp;km² o Casavatore km² o caipital; 60% o the municipalities are small (less nor or equal tae 10&nbsp;km²), 36% o middlin-sizit (> 10&nbsp;km² an ≤ 25&nbsp;km²), the rest (11%) mair nor 25&nbsp;km² an, o this, anerly twa municipalities (Acerra an Giugliano) are atween 50 an 100&nbsp;km² an anerly the municipality o Naples exceeds 100&nbsp;km².

The population density of the metropolitan ceety amuntit tae 2,672 inhabitants / km², 12 metropolitan municipalities exceedin 50,000 inhabitants, in the leet o the tap 60 Italian municipalities that it includes three o the Neapolitan: Giugliano, Torre del Greco an Pozzuoli, while Casavatore is the first common in Italy for population density wi 12,000 inhabitants. / Km², follaeed bi Portici.
