Banchette, the municipality joined to Ivrea

There is no gap between Banchette and Ivrea: the houses run on without a break, and for residents the town is within cycling distance. The municipality is in the Canavese area north of Turin, in the basin crossed by the Dora Baltea river, and it feels like a residential district of Ivrea.

Most of the housing is blocks of flats, detached houses and homes built in the second half of the twentieth century, when Ivrea was growing around its industries. Buyers today look mainly at energy rating, heating costs (climate zone E, cold winters) and the position relative to busy through roads. Land take is high, as almost the whole area is built up.

There were 3,110 residents in 2023, down 5.2% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.4, slightly above the province (47.4), and over-65s make up 28.0%. Foreign residents are 13.2%, more than in most small towns of the Canavese. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Turin.

The province has 271 municipalities in seismic zone 3 and 41 in zone 4. Banchette is in zone 3, with low expected ground acceleration (0.043 g). In a block of flats, how well the building has been maintained matters more than the year it was designed.

Using the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps, the report goes from the address to the plot and checks the official flood maps, which are useful near the Dora, plus the local price band and distances to services.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Banchette is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.043 g, a low 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.
