Chiopris-Viscone, two hamlets on the Friulian plain
The name tells you how the municipality is made up: two small settlements, Chiopris and Viscone, among the fields of the eastern Friulian plain at around 30 metres above sea level. The land is flat, with low houses, courtyards and country lanes, and for work, secondary school and shopping people drive to the larger towns of the area and to Udine.
Unlike many small municipalities, this one is growing. In 2023 there were 703 residents, 83 more than in 2011, an increase of 13.4%. Age tells the same story: an average of 45.6 against 48.5 for the province, over-65s at 23.0% against 27.8%, households of 2.34 people. Foreign residents account for 5.7%. The data show 2.84 pharmacies per 1,000 residents, above the provincial average of 0.39.
The tavolare land registry applies here, a legacy of Austrian rule: ownership is recorded in the Land Book (Libro fondiario), kept by the land registry offices, and buyers need to make their checks there too. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) still publishes the cadastral maps, so the report can trace an address to its land parcel.
In the province of Udine seismic hazard rises towards the mountains: 19 municipalities are in zone 1 and 71 in zone 2 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification. Chiopris-Viscone is in zone 3, like 43 others, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.170 g. For a house built before current standards, ask for the design drawings and any structural surveys.
On the plain, water is the thing to watch: nearby ditches, irrigation channels and streams can matter more than the municipal average, and the report checks the official flood maps for the exact address.

Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Chiopris-Viscone: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.
House prices
The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.
Land registry
Chiopris-Viscone uses the tavolare (land book) system, but the Revenue Agency still publishes the maps: the report finds the building's parcel, that is its sheet and parcel number, starting from the address.
Liveability area by area
The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 8 inhabited census areas in Chiopris-Viscone. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 62 or more.
