Borghetto Lodigiano, farmsteads and canals south of Lodi
The Lodi area is a plain shaped by water: irrigation ditches, canals and drains mark out the fields, and farmsteads built around closed courtyards dot the countryside. Borghetto Lodigiano sits in this landscape south of Lodi, with a compact old centre, a few hamlets and arable and livestock farms around it. It is one of the more populous municipalities in a province made up of many small villages.
For buyers, Borghetto offers detached houses, villas and flats at lower prices than around Milan, with Lodi a short drive away. Many residents work in Lodi, in the southern Milan area or in the local logistics sector. The data lists 24 services in the village, enough for shopping and schools for younger children.
The share of foreign residents stands out at 14.4%, high even for Lombardy and linked to work in farming, logistics and industry. There are 4,361 residents, practically the same as in 2011 (18 fewer). The average age is 44.8 against 45.4 for the province, over-65s make up 22.9% and households have 2.38 members on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
All 60 municipalities in the Lodi province are in seismic zone 3, and in Borghetto the expected ground acceleration is low, about 0.077 g. Anyone buying a farmstead or an old house should worry more about rising damp, roofs and timber floors than about earthquakes.
Water deserves the real attention: on a plain so dense with canals and watercourses, the report reads the official flood maps for the exact address and measures its elevation. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are published and the report traces the plot.
