Camponogara, reclaimed farmland between Padua and the lagoon

Camponogara lies in the countryside between Padua and Venice, just south of the Riviera del Brenta, a few metres above sea level. The municipality is made up of the main village and hamlets such as Calcroci and Prozzolo, spread along country roads, canals and drainage ditches. For house-hunters it is an area of detached and semi-detached homes and small blocks of flats, cheaper than the towns facing the Brenta.

Jobs are in Padua, Mestre and the Porto Marghera industrial zone, and nearly everyone drives. For larger shops and services people go to Dolo, which also has the hospital, or to the area's shopping centres. There are also few bars and restaurants compared with the provincial average, so evenings here are mostly spent at home.

In 2023 there were 13,001 residents, almost the same as in 2011 (up 0.6%). The population is younger than the rest of the province, with an average age of 46.1 against 47.6 and 21.9% over 65 compared with 26.0%. Foreign residents make up 6.3%.

Seismic hazard is moderate and uniform: all 44 municipalities in the metropolitan area of Venice are in zone 3, and expected ground acceleration here is about 0.072 g. On clay soils with a high water table, like these, look carefully at cracks in walls and sinking floors, which may point to foundations in need of work.

The real issue for buyers is water. This land was reclaimed and is kept dry by pumping stations and canals, and heavy rain or high water on the Brenta makes some spots more vulnerable than others. The report checks the flood maps for the address, together with the cadastral maps published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).

Key points

  • Reclaimed farmland south of the Riviera del Brenta, between Padua and Venice.
  • Average age 46.1, below the provincial 47.6.
  • Whole metropolitan area in seismic zone 3, acceleration about 0.072 g.
  • Low ground and canals: flood risk is checked address by address.

Overview

Camponogara is a municipality in the province of Venezia, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 13,001 residents, ranked 16 of 44 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Camponogara is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 44 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.072 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 46 years, lower than the province average (48). 22% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 6.3% of the population. On average, a household has 2.5 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Camponogara declared an average taxable income of 24,678 euros, in line with the province (25,574 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Camponogara is in climate zone E, with 2,432 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 4 metres above sea level.

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Camponogara has 7 schools and 4 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 3 grocery shops and supermarkets, 3 healthcare facilities, 10 sports facilities and 1 green area.

There are 0.2 healthcare facilities per 1,000 residents, fewer than the province average (0.6).

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 23.1% of the land in Camponogara, compared with 14.1% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Camponogara is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. 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 open contaminated sites in Camponogara; 2 have been cleaned up or closed.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Camponogara: 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 Camponogara 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 61 inhabited census areas in Camponogara. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
