Bordolano, on the Cremona bank of the Oglio

Bordolano sits on the bank of the Oglio, the river that here forms the boundary between the provinces of Cremona and Brescia. It is a lowland village at just over sixty metres above sea level, its centre gathered not far from the river, surrounded by fields, rows of trees and farmhouses.

For secondary schools, the hospital and jobs, people drive to Cremona or the larger towns in the area. Homes are mainly detached houses and villas, with a few converted old farmhouses; local price ranges are shown in the report.

There were 586 residents in 2023, 5.6% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 47.4, close to the provincial 46.8; over-65s make up 28.0% and foreign residents 22.5%. Households average 2.37 people, and declared incomes are in line with, in fact slightly above, the provincial average.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3; in Bordolano the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.104 g. With a farmhouse or a solid-brick building, ask whether the roof and walls have been strengthened.

With the river so close, the key check is flooding: the report reads the official flood hazard maps for the exact address, because the picture differs between houses near the embankment and those further away. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available and link the address to its land parcel.

Liveability area by area
