Chiusano d'Asti, a small growing village north of Asti

Chiusano d'Asti has more residents today than in 2011. The municipality lies in the hills north of Asti at about two hundred and sixty metres; it is a small place, with its centre on the hilltop and houses and villas along the roads down to the countryside. Fields, vineyards and small woods alternate all around.

Location helps. Asti is close, with a hospital, schools, a station and jobs, and here you can find houses with gardens in quiet surroundings. Services in the village are minimal, so you need a car for everything. Homes range from old brick houses with courtyards, to be assessed for roof, wiring and plumbing, to more recent buildings. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average, slightly above.

Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 254 residents in 2023, 28 more than the 226 of 2011, a rise of 12.4%. The estimated average age is 45.0, lower than the 47.9 of the province of Asti, and over-65s make up 28.0%. Foreign residents account for 9.8%.

Seismic risk is low: the municipality is in zone 4, the lowest on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like 113 of the 117 municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration of about 0.040 g. On the clay hills, cracks in walls and drainage around the house matter more. The report shows the official landslide and flood maps for the address, starting from the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps. The climate zone is E, with cold, foggy winters.

Earthquakes

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
