The report looks at the exact point: landslide and flood risk, seismic zone, price per square metre for the area, services and nearby stops.
For example: Via Paganella 1, Andalo.
Andalo, on the Paganella plateau below the Brenta
On the Paganella plateau, more than a thousand metres up, Andalo lives on tourism in both winter and summer. On one side the Paganella ski lifts climb the mountain; on the other the Brenta Dolomites close off the horizon, and Molveno and its lake are just next door. Trento is reached by driving down to the Adige valley.
The population is growing: 1,189 residents in 2023, up 15.9% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 45.5 is in line with Trentino as a whole (45.4), and foreign residents make up 10.2%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.
Holidays shape the property market: flats in residences and apartment blocks designed for the season, alongside the homes of people who live here all year. Before buying, find out the provincial and municipal rules on second homes, what the service charges are in a building that is full only in high season, and whether the flat can be let or used as a main residence. Climate zone F means long winters, so heating and insulation weigh on running costs.
The earthquake picture is calm. Andalo is in seismic zone 3 of the national classification, like 147 of the 166 municipalities in the province of Trento, with a low expected ground acceleration of 0.059 g.
One difference worth knowing: in Trentino, ownership is recorded in the land book of the tavolare system, kept by the autonomous province. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps for these municipalities, so the report cannot reach the land parcel from them and says so. Slope, landslides and watercourses are still checked for the address.
Key points
- Paganella plateau, between the ski slopes and the Brenta.
- Population up 15.9% since 2011.
- Seismic zone 3, expected acceleration 0.059 g.
- Tavolare land registry: no Revenue Agency cadastral maps.
Overview
Andalo is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 1,189 residents, ranked 95 of 166 municipalities in the province.
Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Andalo is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (147 of 166) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.059 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.
Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
Population
Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 15.9%. The estimated average age is 45 years, in line with the province. 23% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 10.2% of the population. On average, a household has 2.0 members.

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Andalo declared an average taxable income of 24,281 euros, below the provincial average (25,718 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.
Andalo is in climate zone F, with 4,016 heating degree days, with no limits on when heating may be used. The same table puts the town hall at 1,042 metres above sea level.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites
Andalo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Provincia autonoma di Trento in 2026. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is medium. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.
Official databases list no open contaminated sites in Andalo; one has been cleaned up or closed.
Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Andalo: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.
House prices
The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.
Land registry
For Andalo the Revenue Agency does not publish cadastral maps: the land registry here uses the tavolare (land book) system. The report cannot give a parcel reference, but it still checks risks, services and transport at the address and states this clearly.
Liveability area by area
The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 18 inhabited census areas in Andalo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 73 or more.
