Cavallerleone, a farming village on the plain north of Cuneo

Cavallerleone is a small municipality where the population has grown: in 2023 there were 673 residents, up 3.2% on the 652 of 2011. Age is also lower than in the province: the estimated average age is 44.0, against 46.3 in the province of Cuneo, and over-65s are 21.7%, below the provincial 25.1%. Households average 2.34 people and foreign residents make up 10.3%.

The village lies on the plain in the north of the province, at around 270 metres, amid open countryside of fields and farmsteads, with a compact built-up area. It is farming land, and jobs and larger services are found in the nearby towns of the plain and, further away, in Cuneo and Turin, all reached by car.

House hunters will find detached homes, village houses with a courtyard and farmhouses, some already converted into homes. On the plain, look at how close a property is to irrigation canals and watercourses: the official flood maps that the report checks for each address help tell one area from another. For a farmhouse, extensions, lean-tos and changes of use should also be checked with the town hall.

Seismic hazard is moderate. The municipality is in zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 140 other municipalities in the province, while 106 are in zone 4; expected acceleration is about 0.073 g. With an older house, ask for records of any structural work and about the state of the roof. Average declared income is a little below the provincial level.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Cavallerleone, and the report traces the address to the plot and the building.
