Caresanablot, on the edge of Vercelli
For people living in Caresanablot, Vercelli is practically on the doorstep. The municipality borders the provincial capital and has partly grown as an extension of it: small detached houses, low-rise blocks and workshop and retail areas alternate with fields, and a fair share of the land is built up.
Buyers here are often families working in Vercelli who want a house with a garden or a newer flat away from city traffic, with services, schools and the station a short distance away. Declared incomes are above the provincial average. The climate zone is E: cold winters, often foggy on the plain, and heating weighs on running costs.
In 2023 there were 1,083 residents, 4.7% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 48.9, similar to the province's 48.4, and 28.4% of residents are over 65. Households average 2.56 people; foreign nationals make up 2.7%.
Earthquakes are not a significant issue: Caresanablot is in seismic zone 4, like 81 of the 82 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.037 g. For a recent house, the energy rating, systems and any shared building costs matter more.
On the irrigated plain around Vercelli, the hazard to check is flooding, which the report verifies on the official maps for the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality and show the parcel.

Overview
Caresanablot is a municipality in the province of Vercelli, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,083 residents, ranked 28 of 82 municipalities in the province.
Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Caresanablot is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (81 of 82) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.037 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 resident population has fallen by 4.7%. The estimated average age is 49 years, in line with the province. 28% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 2.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.6 members.
