Beinasco, Turin's inner ring along the Sangone

Beinasco borders Turin to the south-west and belongs to the prima cintura, the inner ring of towns that grew up around the city during the heyday of the car industry. The land is flat and crossed by the Sangone stream; besides the main town it includes the district of Borgaretto, which developed as a residential area. The Turin ring road runs close to the houses and reaches the motorways in a few minutes.

People buying here usually want a flat for less than Turin prices while staying close to the city. Many apartment blocks date from the industrial boom years, so before signing it is worth checking the energy rating, the state of the façades and heating costs: Beinasco is in climate zone E, with cold and often foggy winters. Much of the land is built over, with warehouses, shopping centres and roads next to the housing, and little public green space is recorded.

The population is shrinking and ageing. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 17,416 residents in 2023, down 3.8% since 2011, or 688 fewer people. Over-65s make up 28.8%, more than the 26.4% of the metropolitan area, and the average age of 48.5 is above the provincial figure. Households are small, 2.16 people on average, and foreign nationals are 6.2% of residents. Average declared incomes are a little below the Turin-area average.

For earthquakes, Beinasco is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.066 g, a low value. Building maintenance matters more than seismic risk. Near the Sangone the report checks the official maps to see whether the address lies in a flood-prone area, and it finds the building's land parcel on the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

Overview

Beinasco is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 17,416 residents, among the most populous in the province (19 of 312).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Beinasco 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 0.066 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 fallen by 3.8%. The estimated average age is 48 years, in line with the province. 29% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 6.2% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Beinasco declared an average taxable income of 25,082 euros, below the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Beinasco is in climate zone E, with 2,591 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 265 metres above sea level.
