Cassacco, the glacial hills north of Udine

Cassacco belongs to the band of moraine hills rising north of Udine, left behind by the ancient Tagliamento glacier. The village and its hamlets are spread across gentle slopes, meadows and small woods, and Udine is about a quarter of an hour away by car. It is a quiet residential area, chosen by people who work in the city and want a house with some land.

Homes are mostly detached houses and semi-detached pairs, with a few old Friulian farmhouses in the historic cores. On the hills, aspect, access roads and the slope of the plot matter; in the lower ground between the hills water can collect, and the report checks the official maps for the exact address.

There are 2,793 residents (2023), down 4.1% since 2011. The average age is 49.2, a little above the province of Udine (48.5), people over 65 make up 29.1% and foreign residents 4.2%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial average.

Earthquakes are the point to dwell on. Cassacco is in seismic zone 2, and the expected ground acceleration of 0.247 g is a high value. Many houses in the area were rebuilt or strengthened after the 1976 Friuli earthquake: ask for the year of construction, the reconstruction paperwork and whether any later structural work has been done.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report gets to the parcel from the address. The climate is zone E in the Italian classification, with cold, damp winters.
