Bubbiano, rice fields and farmsteads south-west of Milan

Bubbiano is a farming municipality south-west of Milan, in the Abbiategrasso area, where the plain is still made up of rice fields, crops, spring-fed channels and old farmsteads. It is a small place, but it has grown in recent years: Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,454 residents in 2023, up 10.8% since 2011.

People who choose to live here usually want a detached house or small villa with a garden in a country setting, within driving distance of Abbiategrasso and the city. Commuting to Milan means driving or getting to one of the stations in the area; no public transport stops are recorded in the municipality. Homes are mostly small villas, terraced houses and recent low blocks, alongside converted farmsteads. For the latter, ask how damp and insulation were dealt with.

The population is young: the average age is 43.5 against 45.6 for the metropolitan area, and over-65s make up 18.3%, well below 23.0%. Foreign residents account for 6.4%. Declared incomes are below the average for the Milan area.

Local services cover the basics, with 2 school-related places, 2 pharmacies and 6 cafés and restaurants; for a big shop people go to nearby towns.

Seismic hazard is minimal: Bubbiano is in zone 4, the lowest in the Civil Protection classification, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.048 g. On an irrigated plain crossed by channels and canals the most useful check is flooding, which the report reads from the official maps for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available.

Overview

Bubbiano is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 2,454 residents, among the smallest in the province (125 of 133).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Bubbiano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (73 of 133) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.048 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.
