Casatisma, on the Oltrepò Pavese plain below the hills

The Oltrepò Pavese is the part of the province of Pavia south of the river Po, and Casatisma sits in its flat band, at about 75 metres, where farmland runs up to the foot of the first vine-covered hills. The village is close to Casteggio; Voghera and Pavia are the larger towns for work, schools and hospital.

Casatisma's population is a little younger than the provincial average: the average age is 46.5, against 47.1, and households average 2.28 people. At the end of 2023 there were 852 residents, down 4.8% from 895 in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. Over-65s are 26.1% and foreign residents 8.9%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Homes are mostly detached houses, village houses and farmsteads, with some recent building. On the plain between the Po and the hills, water comes from streams and canals: flood hazard should be checked for the address, and the report reads it from the official maps. The climate is zone E, with cold, foggy winters.

For earthquakes Casatisma is in seismic zone 3 (zone 1 is the most hazardous), like 157 of 184 municipalities in the province of Pavia; the other 27 are in zone 4. Expected ground acceleration is about 0.086 g. In old brick houses, have the roof and floors checked before renovating.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps: from the address, the report traces the land parcel and building.
