Buccinasco, Milan's south-west edge and the farmland park

Buccinasco borders the south-west of Milan, next to Corsico, and grew mainly in the second half of the twentieth century as a residential town for people working in the city. To the south the housing gives way to the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano, a protected belt of farms, fields and irrigation channels.

There is no railway station and no metro in the municipality. The timetable data (GTFS format) show 59 stops served by 5 bus lines, running towards Corsico and connections with Milan's network. People working in central Milan usually combine bus and metro or drive via the western ring road, so it is worth trying the journey before buying.

The population is steady: 26,618 residents in 2023, 0.4% more than in 2011. The estimated average age is 45.9, 23.9% of residents are over 65 and foreign nationals make up 5.7%, less than the average for the Milan area. Declared incomes are close to the average for the metropolitan city, one of the highest in Italy.

Homes are mostly blocks of flats and detached houses from the last few decades, often with shared gardens, and Overture Maps records 42 sports facilities, a lot for a town this size. Seismic hazard is low: zone 4 on the Civil Protection scale, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.048 g.

On the plain south of Milan the water table is close to the surface and irrigation channels are everywhere, so for garages and cellars below ground level, ask whether water has ever come in. The report checks the official flood maps for the address and uses the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps to find the land parcel.

Key points

  • Borders Milan to the south-west, next to Corsico.
  • No train or metro: 5 bus lines in the timetable data.
  • Seismic zone 4, expected ground acceleration about 0.048 g.
  • High water table: check garages and cellars.

Overview

Buccinasco is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 26,618 residents, ranked 19 of 133 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Buccinasco 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 5.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Buccinasco is in climate zone E, with 2,404 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 113 metres above sea level.

Radon and contaminated sites

Buccinasco is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Lombardia in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

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