Casorezzo, fields and family homes west of Milan

Casorezzo has no railway station and no major road running through it, and for the people who choose it that is often the point. It is a village on the plain west of Milan, between Busto Garolfo, Arluno and Ossona, about thirty kilometres from the city, with a centre of old courtyard houses surrounded by estates of detached homes and small blocks of flats. Around the village there are still farmed fields and strips of woodland, partly protected by the Parco del Roccolo, a local park shared with neighbouring municipalities.

The downside is reliance on the car. The public transport data show no stops in the municipality, and to get to Milan people drive to the stations in nearby towns or to the Milan to Turin motorway, which passes a little to the south. If you commute every day, work out the time and cost carefully.

The population is growing: Istat, the national statistics office, counted 5,642 residents in 2023, up 5.4% on 2011, or 287 more people. The estimated average age, 45.5, is practically the same as the province (45.6), and foreign nationals make up 6.4%. Declared incomes are below the average for the metropolitan area, although that figure is pushed up a long way by the city of Milan itself.

For a municipality of this size, sport and green space are well provided: 0.89 sports facilities per 1,000 residents against 0.79 in the province, and 0.35 green areas against 0.18. Shops are few, though, and for the big shop and many health services people go to neighbouring towns.

Seismic risk is among the lowest in Italy. The province is split between 60 municipalities in zone 3 and 73 in zone 4 of the Civil Protection Department's classification, and Casorezzo is in zone 4, with an expected acceleration of about 0.039 g. When assessing a house, the energy rating and the state of the systems matter more, and for homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, insulation and windows. Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are published, and the report identifies the land parcel and building from the address.

Key points

  • Village on the plain between Busto Garolfo, Arluno and Ossona.
  • No public transport stops: you need a car to reach Milan.
  • Population up 5.4% since 2011.

Overview

Casorezzo is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 5,642 residents, ranked 97 of 133 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Casorezzo 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 0.039 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.
