Baldichieri d'Asti, a commuter village close to Asti

Baldichieri d'Asti is a municipality close to Asti, in the valley floor and low hills of the Asti area. The village has spread out with small villas and low-rise blocks around its old core, and today it largely serves as a place to live for people who work in Asti or in the surrounding towns.

It is also younger and more mixed than the rest of its province. Foreign residents make up 18.6%, the estimated average age is 45.3 against 47.9 for the province, and over-65s account for 23.4% against 27.3%. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,122 residents in 2023, up 0.7% on 2011, and households have 2.24 members on average.

The market is that of a commuter village: detached houses with gardens, terraced villas, flats in recent blocks and the occasional farmhouse to restore on the hills. A fair share of the municipal area is built up. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average. The report measures distances to schools, shops and the pharmacy from the house, and for properties near the valley-floor streams it reads the official flood maps.

Earthquake hazard is low. The Civil Protection Department places Baldichieri in zone 4, like 113 of the 117 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.042 g. In newer homes, energy rating and build quality matter more; in older ones, damp and the roof. Winters are those of climate zone E.

The land registry is the standard one: the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the maps, and the report finds the plot from the address.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Baldichieri d'Asti is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (113 of 117) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.042 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
