Bogogno, hills and golf near Borgomanero

Bogogno is a municipality of low hills and woodland in the north of the province of Novara, close to Borgomanero. The landscape is the glacial hill country that rises towards the lakes, with fields, patches of woodland and villas. A large golf club lies within its boundaries and draws people from well beyond the area.

It is a handy base for getting about: the A26 motorway has an exit at Borgomanero, and from there Novara, Lake Maggiore and the Malpensa area are not far. The market is mostly detached houses, villas with gardens and the odd restored farmhouse. Average declared incomes are well above the provincial average.

There are 1,309 residents (2023), only a few fewer than in 2011 (a fall of 1.2%). The average age is 47.7, a little above the province (46.7), with over-65s at 26.0%. Foreign residents make up 6.2%.

Earthquakes are not a particular concern: all 87 municipalities in the province of Novara are in zone 4, the lowest, and the expected acceleration here is 0.038 g. For a villa a few decades old, the useful checks are roof, systems and insulation, as winters are cold (climate zone E).

With hills, woods and small streams, the ground is not the same everywhere. The report traces the address to its land parcel and shows the official landslide and flood maps for that plot, along with the distance to the nearest services.

Key points

  • Hills and woods in northern Novara province, near Borgomanero.
  • A26 exit at Borgomanero; Lake Maggiore and Malpensa close.
  • 1,309 residents, incomes above the provincial average.
  • All 87 municipalities in the province in seismic zone 4.

Overview

Bogogno is a municipality in the province of Novara, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,309 residents, ranked 53 of 87 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Bogogno is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.038 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 1.2%. The estimated average age is 48 years, in line with the province. 26% 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.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Bogogno declared an average taxable income of 35,224 euros, above the provincial average (26,949 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Bogogno is in climate zone E, with 2,666 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 278 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Bogogno has 2 schools and 1 pharmacy. The Overture Maps data also lists 1 healthcare facility and 2 sports facilities.

The data shows no grocery shops and supermarkets within the municipality, against a provincial average of 0.5 per 1,000 residents.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 9.6% of the land in Bogogno, compared with 11.2% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Bogogno is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. 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 contaminated sites in Bogogno.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Bogogno: 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

The cadastral maps for Bogogno are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

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 14 inhabited census areas in Bogogno. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 66 or more.
